Bournemouth moved just three points off the Champions League places after David Brooks’ 77th-minute volley inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Everton at the Vitality Stadium.
Andoni Iraola’s side had been struggling to break down their stubborn but limited opponents when substitute Brooks arrowed a sublime volley back across Jordan Pickford’s goal from Milos Kerkez’s pinpoint cross to settle a scrappy contest on the south coast.
With just seven goals conceded at home this season, it always felt thereafter that it would be enough for the upwardly-mobile hosts, who have now gone a club-record eight Premier League games unbeaten.
Abdoulaye Doucoure thought he had salvaged a point for the visitors when he crashed Beto’s knockdown just wide of Mark Travers’ post but it is now just one win in 11 league games for Sean Dyche’s side.
The result moves Bournemouth move onto 33 points – just three points off the top four, while Everton stay just two points above the relegation zone in 16th position.
