Bournemouth scored three late goals to stun Everton 3-2 in the Premier League at Goodison Park and leave the hosts without a point from three matches.

Everton opened up a 2-0 lead in a seven-minute spell after the break with goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Bournemouth spent most of the game on the back foot, barely threatening the Everton goal, but with three minutes left they pulled a goal back when Antoine Semenyo poked home from close range.

In added time, Lewis Cook’s powerful header found the back of the net and Luis Sinisterra broke Everton hearts with the winner to leave Everton rooted to the bottom of the table.

Everton collapse to a 3-2 defeat in stoppage time after leading 2-0 through second half goals from Keane and Calvert-Lewin. They were the better side for the majority of the game and looked on course for their first points of the season, with Bournemouth unable to offer anything themselves. However, that all changed in the final stages as Semenyo pulled one back on 87 minutes, before Cook equalised in stoppage time as Everton grew nervous. The visitors then could’ve scored a couple more through Sinisterra and Semenyo, but they were denied superbly by Pickford. However, Everton couldn’t hang on for a point as Bournemouth completed the turnaround late on, with Sinisterra headed in the winning goal in the 96th minute to make it 3-2. The boos rang out at Goodison at the final whistle, as the Toffees made it three defeats in their opening three games and sit bottom of the table. They’ll face Aston Villa after the international break to try and pick up their first points, while Bournemouth move up to seventh and they’ll face Chelsea next time out. What an end to the game, we hope you enjoyed that one!

What has happened to Everton? They looked comfortable and heading to a 2-0 victory and now it looks like they're going to lose 3-2 after conceding three goals in the space of nine minutes!

CHANCES! Pickford with two huge saves to deny Bournemouth a third goal! First the keeper denies Sinisterra from close range with a header, before the the hosts fail to clear the danger and the ball falls to Semenyo on the edge of the area. Pickford has to get down quickly to make a great save down to his left to deny Semenyo.

GOOOAAALLL! BOURNEMOUTH HAVE EQUALISED! What a turnaround this is by the visitors! Cook with the goal in stoppage time to make it 2-2! They counter quickly and Tavernier finds Sinisterra, who then chips a high cross into the box and Cook races in unmarked and powers his header past Pickford and into the back of the net.

It's all very nervy now at Goodison as both teams push for another goal, Everton to surely win it and Bournemouth to nick a very late equaliser.
