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.

Everton vs AFC Bournemouth
After a 4-0 reverse at Arsenal last week, Bournemouth's only wins this term remain a pair of EFL Cup victories over Championship sides Swansea City and Stoke City. The Cherries arrive on Merseyside following an 11-game streak without victory in the Premier League, and they sit second-bottom of the standings. Of particular concern for coach Andoni Iraola will be his team's record of conceding at least twice in all three of their away fixtures this season.
Everton vs AFC Bournemouth
Still with just one Premier League victory to their name this season, Everton were beaten 2-1 by Luton Town last time out, swiftly ending a welcome upturn in fortunes. Sean Dyche's side had previously posted their first league win with a 3-1 success at Brentford, before eliminating Aston Villa from the EFL Cup. Not since the final day of their troubled 2022-23 campaign have they kept a clean sheet in any competition, though that game saw Bournemouth beaten by an Abdoulaye Doucoure goal that preserved the Toffees' top-flight status for another year.
