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.

It’s goalless at the break between Everton and Bournemouth, with little to separate the two sides in what has been a cagey opening half of football, with few chances to open the scoring. We’ve only had one shot on target and that came through Ndiaye, who had a great opportunity to score following a corner, but Kepa made an excellent stop to deny him. Everton have had a few more long range shots at goal, through McNeil and Harrison, but neither have tested Kepa on his debut for the visitors. Meanwhile Pickford is yet to make a save at the other end, with the Cherries losing possession far too often with sloppy passes.

There's going to be just one minute of additional time added on here. This would be a great time to open the scoring if either side can fashion one final chance at goal.

McNeil is allowed time and space to turn and he decides to try his luck from distance, but his strike is easy enough for Kepa, who makes a comfortable save.

Iroegbunam has been a bright spark for Everton in this first half, trying to get involved in everything in attack, but like his teammates, lacking in the final product.

Decent half chance there for Bournemouth, with Tavernier having a go from the edge of the box, but he gets his shot all wrong and it flies high and wide of the Everton goal.

There's not long left to play in the first half now, can either side break the deadlock before the half-time whistle?

The Everton chance a few minutes ago seems to have kicked Bournemouth into a life a little bit, they are showing more urgency to get on the ball. However, they are still letting themselves down with their sloppy passing.

Bournemouth deliver a deep free-kick into the Everton penalty area, which Semenyo brings down at the back post, but his curling shot is then well blocked and the danger cleared.

CHANCE! Everton with a great opportunity to take the lead, but they are denied by Kepa! A deep corner comes into the box by McNeil, which Calvert-Lewin heads back across goal and it falls to Ndiaye, who volleys a shot towards goal, but Kepa makes an excellent stop with his legs to make the save.
