Bournemouth produce thrilling late turnaround as Everton suffer home defeat

Everton 2-3 Bournemouth
by James Nalton
at  Goodison Park

GOODISON PARK was in shock after Everton fans saw their team throw away a 2-0 lead that would have given them a first win of the season.

Instead, they go into the international break with a record of three defeats from three games.

Bournemouth scored three times in 10 minutes at the end of the game, with Luis Sinisterra heading the winner in the sixth minute of added time.

Once their first went in, there was a foreboding feeling in the home areas of Goodison Park, as if the story had already been written and was just waiting for the rest of the opposition goals to be scored.

Prior to this collapse, Everton were impressive, and new signing Iliman Ndiaye lit up the game before being subbed in the 85th minute.

Goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin had given Everton what was a much-deserved lead amid plenty of chances for the home side.

Ndiaye was operating down the left with Dwight McNeil shifted into the centre behind Calvert-Lewin. 

It gave the team a rare combination of solidity and flair. Ndiaye was a magnet to the ball, tidy in possession and able to take players on.

He was helped by another new signing, Tim Iroegbunam, who excelled in midfield until tiring late on.
