Bournemouth 1-1 Everton: James Tarkowski's late goal denies Bournemouth victory on Marco Rose's home debut

  /  autty

James Tarkowski’s stoppage-time goal denied Bournemouth victory on Marco Rose’s home Premier League debut.

Alex Scott's sublime finish just before half-time put Bournemouth in front and they looked on course to take all three points before Tarkowski fired home an Everton equaliser.

Bournemouth were unchanged from the side that lost to Manchester City on the opening weekend, as James Garner replaced Hayden Hackney to partner Nottingham Forest transfer target Harrison Armstrong in Everton's midfield.

The visitors would have been in front early on but for some heroics from Bournemouth goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic who first saved Jarrad Branthwaite's header from a corner before making another fine stop to deny Iliman Ndiaye.

Pickford did well to deny Rayan at the other end before Petrovic made another stunning double save, first stopping a goal-bound effort from Tyrique George before getting up to make a point-blank save to deny Barry, who should have scored from less than six yards out.

Bournemouth punished the visitors shortly before half-time after some excellent work from Evanilson. The striker turned Tarkowski before cutting the ball across to Scott, who showed remarkable composure to take an extra touch and slot into the far corner.

Barry then missed the target from close range before he was denied again in the second half when Petrovic got down well to save after the striker - who was later replaced by Beto - had been played in by Armstrong.

Bournemouth nearly snatched a second late on, but Evanilson's effort deflected behind.

And they were left to rue that miss when Tarkowski was first to react after Bournemouth failed to clear a corner to smash home a late equaliser.
