Bournemouth 2-1 Everton: Seamus Coleman’s late own goal gifts win to Cherries just minutes after Beto scored equaliser… as visitors equal club record of 12 Premier League matches without a win

Everton’s season is going from bad to worse after they equaled the club record of 12 Premier League games without a win and off-field uncertainty threatens to derail things further.

Seamus Coleman’s own goal was enough to end the poor performance of Sean Dyche’s team, which barely deserved a point.

Bournemouth led with Dominic Solanke’s 16th goal of the season before a Neto error gifted Beto the equalizer only for Coleman’s 91st minute error to leave the Toffees caught in the middle.

Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri this week assured supporters that 777 Partners’ long-running takeover of the club will continue to happen and provide a bright future for the club, despite it taking more than six months for the Premier League to approve the deal. .

Before then, the club must nervously await the outcome of a second hearing after facing charges of breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. They have already been deducted six points, but a new sanction before the end of the season remains possible.

Even without that, relegation is a real danger and the Toffees now face two crucial games next week, away to Newcastle and at home against Burnley, as they look to cement their place in the Premier League for next season.

They were immediately under attack at Bournemouth, Lewis Cook wasting an early chance as he attempted to convert a loose ball after Jordan Pickford had saved from Antoine Semenyo.

Everton had few chances of their own but Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a vision of goal when Abdoulaye Doucoure played in before his attempt was blocked by Chris Mepham. The forward has not scored in 22 games, a streak that dates back to October.

It wasn’t a classic, but Calvert-Lewin had the best chance of the game after combining with James Tarkowski as a marauding centre-back.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin wasted a great opportunity and his shot was saved by Neto in goal.

But the former England player’s confidence was shown in his tame effort which Neto easily pushed around the post.

The most dramatic moment of a quiet half came right at the end when Semenyo hit the base of the post with Bournemouth and then appealed for a penalty as Jarrad Branthwiate tangled with Tyler Adams in the build-up.

There was more impetus to Bournemouth’s attack at the start of the second half with Marcus Tavernier firing a fierce shot straight at Pickford before Seamus Coleman showed the pace of a man half his age to run in from right back to steal the pocket to Solanke just as he was getting ready. to shoot.

Everton also showed greater intensity and Dwight McNeil hit the near post as he tried to cross and the rebound fell harmlessly behind Mepham.

Moments later, Dyche stalked furiously down the touchline as Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey allowed Solanke to get between them and head home from close range.

Everton showed little in response, but Neto made a huge mess of catching McNeil’s cross and colliding with Mepham, causing the ball to fall towards Beto, who gratefully stroked it into the empty goal.

A point could have been Everton’s most deserved goal but they couldn’t get it. Adam Smith delivered a deep cross that hit Coleman at the far post and saw Everton’s miserable run continue.
