A resurgent Everton beat Bournemouth 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday to stop a four-match losing run at Goodison Park and claimed their first home victory of the season.
Reuters reports that goals from James Garner, Jack Harrison and Abdoulaye Doucoure gave Everton all three points as Sean Dyche’s team moved up to 15th while winless Bournemouth are in deep trouble in the relegation zone with three points to sit 19th.
Everton were dominant from the outset and were gifted an early lead when Illia Zabarnyi slipped and James Garner pounced to fire home past Neto, before Jack Harrison made it 2-0 with a composed finish from outside the box.
The goals galvanised Everton and they could have gone into the break 3-0 up when Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw his header come off the bar before Amadou Onana shot agonisingly wide.
Boos echoed around the ground after a 2-1 defeat by Luton Town last week, but the Everton fans cheered as they led at the break for the first time this season. Abdoulaye Doucoure then started and finished a move to make it 3-0 on the hour mark.
Bournemouth rarely threatened Jordan Pickford’s goal as Everton sealed the three points to move up to 15th while winless Bournemouth are in deep trouble in the relegation zone with three points from eight games.
Victory will be a huge boost for Everton, who make the short trip to Merseyside rivals Liverpool after the international break, while Bournemouth host Wolverhampton Wanderers.
