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.

Sean Dyche has made two changes to his side, with Coleman returning to the team as Dixon dropping to the bench, while Ndiaye starts in midfield in place of Doucoure. Meanwhile the visitors have made just one change to their starting line-up, with Kepa coming in for his Cherries debut, after he joined on a season-long loan from Chelsea this week.

Meanwhile Bournemouth have drawn their first two fixtures, the only side to have done this since Wolves did it five years ago. They drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest on the opening day, before a home 1-1 draw with Newcastle last Sunday, a game in which they led through Marcus Tavernier, but were pulled back in the second half.

Everton are still looking for their first points on the season after suffering back to back defeats in their opening two games, conceding seven goals in the process. Firstly, a 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton, before suffering a 4-0 loss at Tottenham last weekend.
