Bournemouth 3 Everton 3: Stanislas helps the Cherries secure a dramatic draw

Bournemouth kept scrapping for a foothold but Everton perhaps felt they had already done enough to secure all three points.

Everton fans spilled onto the field in celebration but Stanislas, who made it 2-2, had the final say in a dramatic finale by heading in with only seconds remaining of stoppage time.

The nature of the result means that Howe’s improving, resilient team finally have the momentum required to inspire survival, even if the manager insisted he was yet to recover from the “emotional turmoil” he had experienced since kick-off.

Galloway has more than played his part in a profitable November that has so far produced seven points from three games, with 11 goals scored and just three conceded, suggesting Baines’ influence at either end of the pitch is not being greatly missed.

“It’s just making sure now that we give him the right introduction to get that match fitness and also the confidence back to be able to go into a 50-50 challenge without feeling fearful”.

The only consolation Martinez could offer for despondent Evertonians was the way in which his side restored their lead after the home side drew level and ultimately he believes Eddie Howe’s team’s last-gasp equaliser was something out of their hands.

Bournemouth’s recovery was sparked by a moment of good fortune from substitute Adam Smith’s hit and hope effort that went in off the post but ultimately Martinez believes his side need to show a greater strength to see things out.

Bournemouth have scored in four of their last five home matches where Everton have ceded five in their last three road fixtures.

An inswinging corner from Ross Barkley was met at pace by Funes Mori, who powered home his first goal for the club with 25 minutes gone. Gerard Deulofeu sent in a low pass from the right toward the in-form striker, who held off his marker before beating Federici at his near post with a powerful right-footed finish for his 10th league goal of the season.

JUNIOR Stanislas rescued Cherries a deserved share of the spoils in the eighth minute of added time of a pulsating 3-3 draw with Everton.

Everton found it impossible to stem the tide of Bournemouth attacks and the equaliser arrived in the 87th minute.

Smith’s vehement appeals for a penalty fell on deaf ears seconds after the restart but in truth, any decision against Everton’s Brendan Galloway would have been harsh.

“Our first-half performance was exactly what I wanted it to be and we looked to have won the game twice”. “You can imagine, the dressing room is a place of real disappointment”.
