Everton beat lowly Bournemouth to snap home losing run

LIVERPOOL, England :A resurgent Everton beat struggling Bournemouth 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday to snap a four-match losing run at Goodison Park where the home fans were thrilled to see their team claim their first home victory of the season.

Goals from James Garner, Jack Harrison and Abdoulaye Doucoure gave Everton all three points as Sean Dyche's team moved up to 15th while winless Bournemouth are in deep trouble in the relegation zone with three points to sit 19th.

Everton were dominant right from the kickoff, much to the delight of the home crowd, who had seen only one goal in four losses, while Bournemouth rarely threatened Jordan Pickford's goal.

"The noise around home form, pleased to have corrected that today, the fans deserve it for the backing of the team. They are always committed to the cause home and away," Dyche told the BBC.

"A dominant performance... It's a season's work. There's way more work to be done, it's a constant here," he added.

"But we're correcting things slowly but surely. The amount of times we've created chances and not won games this season, it is nice to do it today."

Everton were gifted the lead in the eighth minute when Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi slipped and lost possession near the box, allowing Garner to run through and fire up Goodison Park with a composed finish past Neto.

The Brazilian goalkeeper was partly responsible for the second when he punched a cross away and the ball fell to Harrison, who curled his effort from outside the box and in off the crossbar.

The goals galvanised Everton and they could have gone into the break 3-0 up when Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw his header come off the bar before Amadou Onana shot agonisingly wide.
