Your support makes all the difference.Kurt Zouma scored his first Everton goal as the Toffees beat Bournemouth 2-0 at Goodison Park.
The Cherries impressed for large parts of the first half and saw David Brooks hit a post after 18 minutes.
Everton, though, grabbed the opening goal just after the hour mark when Zouma headed home Digne's cross.
The hosts then wrapped up the three points when substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted Lookman's low cross in added time.

Anthony Taylor is not a popular man at Goodison. Marco Silva makes his frustration clear after a Gosling challenge and gets a talking to from the referee.
