James Tarkowski’s stoppage-time header denied Bournemouth victory on Marco Rose’s Premier League managerial debut at the Vitality Stadium. Alex Scott’s sublime finish just before half-time put Bournemouth in front, but Everton equalised through Tarkowski. Bournemouth goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic delivered a standout performance, making a series of stunning saves to deny Iliman Ndiaye and Tyrique George.

Despite Petrovic’s heroics, Everton pressed for an equaliser, which arrived when the visitors failed to clear a corner, allowing Tarkowski to smash home the leveller. Earlier, Jordan Pickford denied Rayan at the other end. Bournemouth looked to extend their lead late on, but Evanilson’s deflected effort left the match level.

The result leaves both sides sharing points after an entertaining opening day clash.
