A stoppage-time own goal from Seamus Coleman gave AFC Bournemouth a crushing 2-1 win over relegation-battling Everton at the Vitality Stadium. 

Bournemouth had broken the deadlock on 64 minutes through Dominic Solanke, whose goal equalled a club record of 16 in a Premier League season.

But Everton substitute Beto profited from an error at the back to equalise. However, in the first minute of stoppage time, a cross from the right was somehow deflected into his own net by Everton captain Coleman, who was not under pressure, to clinch the win for Andoni Iraola’s side and extend the Toffees’ winless run to 12 matches.

How the match unfolded

Bournemouth made four changes, summer signing Tyler Adams making his first start, replacing Ryan Christie. Milos Kerkez, Marcus Tavernier and Justin Kluivert also returned to the starting lineup. 

Everton manager Sean Dyche made two changes, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin replacing Beto while Coleman came in for Vitaliy Mykolenko.

The Cherries had a great chance to take an early lead. Antoine Semenyo's shot from the edge of the box was parried by Jordan Pickford into the path of Lewis Cook who volleyed over. 

A minute later Cook was involved again, his corner towards the near post was cleverly flicked by Kluivert but saved by Pickford. 

Everton escaped from the wave of Bournemouth attacks and nearly scored through Calvert-Lewin. The forward was able to turn and shoot in the box but was blocked by Chris Mepham.

On 31 minutes Calvert-Lewin had another chance to score. A deep free-kick by Pickford found the forward, whose strike was brilliantly tipped wide by Neto. 

A short corner by Dwight McNeil caught the home side by surprise, the winger was able to drive into the box and unleash a shot that hit the inside of the post.

On 64 minutes the Cherries took the lead. Substitute Lloyd Kelly whipped in a lovely cross that was headed in from close range by Solanke to match the 16 goals that Joshua King scored for the club in 2016/2017.

As the home side looked to be nearing another three points, the Toffees were gifted an equaliser in the 87th minute. Neto spilled a cross, allowing Beto to tap home.

Just as Everton were hoping to take at least a vital point home, they gifted away the winner. In his 200th Premier League appearance, Adam Smith’s cross found its way to the back post and it bounced up to hit Coleman in the chest and go into his own net.

Bournemouth have 38 points in 13th spot. A joint club-record run of 12 Premier League matches without a win, leaves them on 25 points, three clear of the relegation zone.
