Bournemouth 2-2 Everton

While Everton looked like the superior side, they came away with a draw after Bournemouth’s comeback. The game opened up when Theo Walcott scored after a strong run, despite Everton being down a man. Everton was up two until the Cherries were awarded a questionable penalty. This was successfully converted by Joshua King and was closely followed by a Nathan Ake goal.

We weren’t given an honest show of what these teams can do since both suffered red cards. Richarlison was sent off before half-time, followed by Adam Smith in the 61st minute. Bournemouth got a point by the skin of their teeth and Everton will likely look at this as a defeat. Even so, this shows that Bournemouth should survive this year and Everton might end up high in the table.
