A resurgent Everton beat Bournemouth 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday to snap a four-match losing run at Goodison Park and claim their first home victory of the season.

Everton were dominant right from the kickoff and were gifted an early lead when Illia Zabarnyi slipped and James Garner pounced to fire home, before Jack Harrison made it 2-0 with a composed finish from outside the box.

Boos echoed around the ground after a 2-1 defeat by Luton Town last week, but the Everton fans cheered as they led at the break for the first time this season. Abdoulaye Doucoure then started and finished a move to make it 3-0 on the hour mark.

Bournemouth rarely threatened Jordan Pickford’s goal as Everton sealed the three points to move up to 15th while winless Bournemouth are in deep trouble in the relegation zone with three points from eight games.

Everton finally find goalscoring touch to beat struggling Bournemouth

Everton scored more than once at home for the first time in almost a year as Goodison Park finally celebrated a victory after a 3-0 win over a woeful Bournemouth.

October 22, 2022 was the last time Goodison witnessed a game with multiple goals for the hosts when Crystal Palace were dispatched by the same scoreline.

After the international break, Everton will go straight into the Merseyside derby versus Liverpool. Meanwhile, beleaguered Bournemouth resume Premier League duty with back-to-back home games against Wolves and Burnley.

A commitment to attack and Bournemouth's defensive deficiencies combine to help Everton end their search for a first Premier League win at Goodison this season. The Toffees flooded forward in numbers, aided by their visitors' timid resistance, and they effectively decided the game by scoring twice before the break. Onana then applied the finishing touch during the second half, consigning Bournemouth to yet another away defeat.

Patterson's cross is too strong for Beto and flashes wide of the Portuguese forward, who had made his run into the centre. Then, Beto finds the side-netting from a very tight angle on the right, having been played in by the irrepressible McNeil.

In the third minute of at least five added on for stoppages, an alert Neto races off his line to beat Chermiti to the ball, following an incisive throughball by Young.

Beto is frustrated when his run behind Bournemouth's defence is not supplied by a better pass, as the ball trickles through to Neto. Then, at the other end, Pickford gets down well to tip Tavernier's low shot behind for a corner.

A Sinisterra delivery from the left byline is met by Moore's head at the near post, but he can't change the ball's angle sufficiently and sends it straight behind for a goal-kick.
