Premier League: Nightmare ending for Everton

Everton 2 - 3 AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth pulled off a remarkable late comeback, overturning a two-goal deficit after the 86th minute to stun Everton in a Premier League clash at Goodison Park.

Nightmare ending for Everton - 1

Everton had looked set to secure their first win of the season, and their first in August in three years, after taking a deserved lead.

But they fell apart spectacularly in the dying moments, as Bournemouth scored three goals in nine chaotic minutes, sparking jubilant celebrations among their players and travelling fans.

Antoine Semenyo’s close-range finish from Dango Ouattara’s cross to make it 2-1 seemed like nothing more than a consolation for the visitors, who had been trailing to second-half goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Instead, it marked the start of a dramatic collapse from Everton. Two minutes into stoppage time, Luis Sinisterra set up Bournemouth captain Lewis Cook to equalise, leaving Everton clinging on for a point.

But the Toffees crumbled further, suffering a third straight defeat when Justin Kluivert’s cross from the left was headed in by Sinisterra four minutes later, sealing a sensational win for Bournemouth.

This incredible turnaround left Everton rooted to the bottom of the table and made them the first club in Premier League history to lose a game after leading by two goals in the 87th minute.

A closer look at a dramatic finale

Before Semenyo’s goal sparked the dramatic finale, Bournemouth’s only shot on target had been Marcus Tavernier’s 20-yard effort in the 82nd minute.

With full-time approaching, it looked like Sean Dyche’s only frustration would be that Everton’s two-goal cushion hardly reflected their dominance.

Keane’s goal shortly after the break was a deserved reward for Everton’s control, with the centre-back driving the ball past Bournemouth’s on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga after a lay-off from Calvert-Lewin.

Captain Seamus Coleman had a chance to double the lead but fired over from 10 yards, before Calvert-Lewin chipped the ball over debutant Kepa to put Everton two goals up.

At that point, with new signing Iliman Ndiaye impressing and Everton creating chance after chance, Goodison Park was in a celebratory mood.

However, that atmosphere quickly soured, with boos echoing around the ground at full-time after another agonising defeat.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
