Everton claw back a point in the final throes of Bournemouth tie

By Press Association Sport Reporters

James Tarkowski struck with an added-time equaliser as Everton denied Bournemouth a first victory under head coach Marco Rose by snatching a 1-1 Premier League draw.

Alex Scott’s 41st-minute opener looked set to enhance the feelgood factor at the Vitality Stadium after the Cherries were on Friday handed a glamour tie against AC Milan in this season’s Europa League.

But a minute beyond the 90 Toffees defender Tarkowski capitalised on a mix-up between Cherries pair Ryan Christie and Marcus Tavernier to drill home following a corner.

Bournemouth striker Evanilson had wasted a golden opportunity to secure the three points for German boss Rose before the late drama, while in-form striker Thierno Barry squandered a host of chances for David Moyes’ visitors.
