00:00 Full-time miracle to St Park, we finished Everton free. Bournemouth 0, they deserved three points for Everton.

00:06 A first victory at home this season, five attempts, it was much needed you've got to say.

00:11 And certainly Everton eased the pressure in going into the game by bagging early in the eighth minute.

00:16 It was James Garner who broke the deadlock for Everton, a real good goal.

00:20 Everton pressed Bournemouth high, he forced them into a mistake and Garner drove at the Bournemouth defence

00:24 and showed the composure to finish from about 20 yards out, a good finish into the far corner.

00:29 Everton just took the foot off the gas for a little bit maybe, might have nearly left Bournemouth into it

00:35 but eventually they took authority on the game yet again.

00:39 The 47th minute, a lovely finish from Jack Harrison.

00:42 First goal for the club, first start in the Premier League since arriving of course from Leeds United.

00:47 It early has a hip injury but a great finish from Leeds United's loanee.

00:52 The Bournemouth keeper, Nettle, punched the cross away and the ball fell to Harrison about 22 yards out

00:58 and first time on the half volley just lobbed the keeper, barring in.

01:03 Excellent finish, really good.

01:05 And then Everton were dominant in the second half, they stepped it up again and got the reward on the hour mark.

01:11 Dwight McNeil stood across up to the back post.

01:14 Jack Harrison's header was blocked but there was Abdul Ezer Koury just a slam home from a couple of yards out.

01:20 He couldn't have missed really, Abdul Ezer Koury, but he was on hand, he was in the right place.

01:24 Yeah, say Everton were full value for three points, didn't really look like conceding.

01:28 Dwight McNeil clears one off the line late on.

01:31 He was excellent today, a lot of the players were excellent today.

01:34 McNeil was superb, Harrison as a guy of course, Amadou Onana in the second half was just the tour de force that you want him to be every week.

01:42 Amadou Onana can see when he weren't supposed to start out, he was a late replacement for the Inches,

01:47 he's just the kind of guy who felt a setback in the warm up.

01:50 He was excellent, James Garner in the middle was superb, Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line.

01:55 Real authority, real pace, power, gusto, the sort of Dominic Calvert-Lewin that you want to see.

02:01 Just been a big miss over the past two seasons really, so good afternoon's work for Everton.

02:09 Up to 15th in the table as things stand, the international break probably comes at the wrong time because

02:14 Sean Dyche said after us that's three wins and four now for Everton, hopefully a corner's being turned.

02:20 But the proof will be in the pudding after the international break when Everton have got a trip just across the roads,

02:29 across Stanley Park to Anfield, they need to fill the Merseyside Derby, then go to West Ham, then Brighton at home.

02:34 But confidence is certainly up and things are improving but Sean Dyche knows there's still a long way to go.

02:42 All in all, good afternoon to Waferhaven and Zepp 3, Bournemouth Mill.
