Kurt and Dom put shine on for Marco

conditions deteriorated but they started to get to grips with the game towards the end of the half.

Bernard headed over before Michael Keane nodded a Lucas Digne cross onto the top of the crossbar.

Richarlison went closer after the break but his attempt was cleared off the line by Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake.

The 61st-minute opener came after good work from Digne down the flank and his cross found Zouma, who headed home from close-range.

The mood had swiftly changed but Everton had not kept a clean sheet in over two months so there were still plenty of nerves sweeping around.

Keane didn’t help matters when he gave possession away but King could only hit the side-netting.

The England defender made up for his mistake, though, with a great tackle to deny Dan Gosling late on.

The Cherries were asking for a spot-kick again when Andre Gomes, who could have been sent off earlier when he got away with two fouls while on a yellow card, hauled down Jefferson Lerma in the area.

But Everton made sure of the win when Ademola Lookman won back possession before crossing for sub Calvert-Lewin to fire home.
