Bourne Again


Captain James Tarkowski rescued Everton from the death; lashing home a 91st-minute equaliser after an uncharacteristic Bournemouth mix-up in their own penalty area, as Everton continued their fine unbeaten start to the season with a priceless 1-1 draw.

After a promising start; the Toffees were left to rue their sudden lethargy; as they suddenly allowed Bournemouth to wrest control of the match and make progress. In one of those exchanges; it was impressive midfielder Alex Scott who found the time & space to fire past an exposed Jordan Pickford and put the home team in front.

Everton; who had a notable chance from Thierno Barry earlier on to open the scoring; were then left to defend resolutely in the second half; with Tarkowski & Vitaliy Mykolenko putting in some vital challenges to keep the deficit at one. They could hardly believe their luck when two Bournemouth players went for the same clearance at a harmless ball; leaving Tarkowski with space to fire home.
