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.

Ending Everton's first attack, Zabarnyi blocks out McNeil's attempted throughball from the left side of the box, and then the Bournemouth defender completes a clearance from the same player's subsequent cross.

A bright start for Bournemouth sees the away side zipping the ball around in midfield with confidence - they've come to play a possession-based game, and it could be quite a clash of styles today.

Making just one change to the team that started last week's loss to Luton, Everton promote Harrison to the lineup at Onana's expense. Captain Seamus Coleman and midfielder Andre Gomes are the Toffees' most notable injury absentees.
