Everton vs AFC Bournemouth: Premier League – BBC Sport
31 August 2024Marcus Tavernier’s 20-yard effort in the 82nd minute had represented lacklustre Bournemouth’s only shot on target until Semenyo’s goal that initiated the stunning conclusion.
In fact, with the final whistle looming it had seemed Sean Dyche’s only complaint would be that his Everton team’s two-goal advantage scarcely did justice to their dominance.
Keane’s goal shortly after the break was a worthy reward for their dominance, with the central defender driving the ball past Bournemouth’s on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Calvert-Lewin’s lay-off.
Returning captain Seamus Coleman should really have doubled it instead of blazing a gilt-edged opportunity over from 10 yards before Calvert-Lewin lifted the ball over debutant Kepa to add Everton’s second.
At that stage, with summer signing Iliman Ndiaye impressing and the hosts carving out chance after chance, there was a celebratory mood inside Goodison.
However, that mood quickly transformed into one of rancour, with boos ringing round the ground at full-time after another painful defeat.
