What This Means for Both Clubs
Everton: The win marks their third victory in four Premier League matches — a morale-boosting away result under David Moyes. They climb to around 9th place with 21 points from 14 games.
Bournemouth: The defeat deepens their recent slump; they remain without a win in five games, despite decent possession (around 55 %). Confidence in front of goal is a growing concern.
Tactical Notes & Player Performances
Grealish’s goal — though deflected — underlines Everton’s opportunistic pressing and midfield transitions. Alcaraz’s interception was crucial.
Bournemouth’s approach looked shaky: while they dominated possession, creativity and cutting edge in attack were lacking; finishing chances were rare and often blocked or saved.
Defensively, Everton managed to stay compact when under pressure; goalkeeper and back-line held firm in key moments.
