It was the Blues who created the contest\u2019s first chance on eight minutes, Tim Iroegbunam \u2013 who has made such an impressive start to his Toffees career \u2013 collecting a loose ball and driving upfield. The midfielder played in Jack Harrison wide right whose low drive across the six-yard box was just missed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the back post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The hosts\u2019 dominance should have been rewarded just past the half-hour mark as McNeil\u2019s corner picked out Calvert-Lewin at the back post. The striker headed across goal for James Tarkowski to nod into the path of Ndiaye, only for the Senegalese to thump a volley straight at Bournemouth debutant Kepa from eight yards out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The half-time whistle came with no breakthrough but plenty of appreciation from Evertonians for a display so far full of attacking intent and a series of neat passages of play from Dyche\u2019s men.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Blues continued where they left off in the second half, Ndiaye delighting Goodison with his ball-carrying skills to glide down the left flank and win a free-kick, which eventually led to a well-deserved opener on 50 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bournemouth managed to clear at the first time of asking but when McNeil fed Harrison, the winger whipped in a delicious cross for Calvert-Lewin to head into the path of Keane, who once again showed his fine finishing ability with a pinpoint shot into the bottom left-hand corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bournemouth could not escape Everton\u2019s relentless pressure moments later, though, that man McNeil showing his vision once more to caress a pass into the feet of Calvert-Lewin who lifted the ball over Kepa from close range.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
There was a nervy finish when Bournemouth managed to reduce the deficit with three minutes remaining, Dango Ouattara sending in a low cross from the left for Antoine Semenyo to tap home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And, somehow, it was 2-2 when another cross, this time from Luis Sinisterra, was headed in by captain Lewis Cook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
