Bournemouth were denied a home win by James Tarkowski’s injury-time equaliser for Everton in a rain-soaked Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium. Alex Scott had put Bournemouth ahead with a composed first-half finish, but Everton’s late set-piece goal preserved Bournemouth’s unbeaten home record while extending their habit of conceding late.

Everton started brightly, registering eight shots in the opening 30 minutes, but failed to convert several chances as Thierno Barry and others missed opportunities. Bournemouth grew into the match through Scott, Rayan and Evanilson, with Jordan Pickford making important saves in the second half; the result also came amid uncertainty over Everton’s squad, including speculation surrounding teenager Harrison Armstrong and other potential transfers.
