Everton threw away a 2-0 lead in extraordinary fashion as Bournemouth scored three times after the 87th minute to win 3-2 in a classic Premier League encounter.
Sean Dyche’s men looked to be cantering towards a first victory of the season after second-half goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin put them in a commanding position.
However, Antoine Semenyo started the comeback on 87 minutes as Everton completely lost their shape and looked like rabbits in the headlights. It was 2-2 when Lewis Cook headed home from close range two minutes into stoppage time.
It was Cook’s first Premier League goal on his 137th appearance.
Worse was to come, and Jordan Pickford had to make saves from both Marcus Tavernier and Semenyo before Sinisterra found space to nod in Justin Kluivert’s cross, with Everton’s players slumping onto the Goodison turf in disbelief.
After conceding seven times in opening defeats to Brighton and Tottenham, Everton had looked much improved as they dominated the vast majority of the match but the lack of game-management to see the game was extraordinary.
The boos at Goodison Park were as loud as ever at the full-time whistle. The home fans won’t have believed what they had seen.
A mind-boggling football match.
