Everton were dominant right from the kickoff and were gifted an early lead when Illia Zabarnyi slipped and James Garner pounced to fire home, before Jack Harrison made it 2-0 with a composed finish from outside the box.
Boos echoed around the ground after a 2-1 defeat by Luton Town last week, but the Everton fans cheered as they led at the break for the first time this season. Abdoulaye Doucoure then started and finished a move to make it 3-0 on the hour mark.
Bournemouth rarely threatened Jordan Pickford’s goal as Everton sealed the three points to move up to 15th while winless Bournemouth are in deep trouble in the relegation zone with three points from eight games.

For the second straight game, Everton have fired in more than 20 shots - but this time, their efforts have been handsomely rewarded. Could this prove a pivotal moment for their 2023-24 campaign?

Patterson makes an immediate impact, as he races on to Young's throughball and almost picks out Calvert-Lewin with a cutback from the right flank.

OFF THE LINE! That's Bournemouth's best chance! Billing nods a cross into Zabarnyi's path, but the defender sees his shot hacked off the goal-line by McNeil! Then, the Everton winger appears at the end of a rapid counter-attack and tests Neto with a shot!

At the second attempt, Neto gathers in the ball following a stinging low drive by Garner from 20 yards out. It's still a one-way blue tide at Goodison, and Bournemouth are well and truly beaten.

DOUBLE CHANCE! From a tight angle, Onana twice comes close to scoring! First he has a header blocked by Billing at the near post, then Neto denies him with a close-range save! He'll have to settle for a corner!
