Everton 1-1 Bournemouth

Steve Cook's challenge on Ross Barkley sees the Bournemouth defender clipped by a trailing boot which requires treatment for what looks like some scrapes down the chest.

James McCarthy tries to get to a through ball in the middle to pressurise Boruc, who hoofs the ball clear into touch just by the dugouts.

Joshua King makes a complete hash of a chance for a first-time shot, slicing the ball wide towards the corner flag.

We're back under way.

Everton's Tony Hibbert, aged 35, comes on for his first appearance since December 2014, replacing Muhamed Besic.

A hugely emotional moment as some of the relatives of Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough receive a prolonged ovation before kick-off at Goodison.

Plenty of possession for the home side, but they have very little to show for it in reality. Bournemouth could be satisfied with the score as they look to arrest a late-season slide in form.

There are a few boos as the whistle goes, but it's all a bit half-hearted - in keeping with a dull first half that didn't live up to its early promise.

Baines swings in a corner which Niasse connects with, but the Senegalese's effort floats well wide - his first of note today as a "Time to go Roberto" banner is trailed from a plane over the stadium.

Pennington allows Wilson to steal in off the right flank, but the Bournemouth striker takes a heavy touch and Howard collects. The Everton keeper makes a point of encouraging Pennington as he clears the ball away.

Everton are really favouring the left flank, as the Niasse touchmap suggests, and Baines has twice been allowed to attempt crosses in quick succession - but Bournemouth are equal to it each time before Boruc has anything to worry about.

Oumar Niasse's touchmap shows he has been involved a bit, but not in the danger area.

At last! Something to shout about as Barkley, nicely fed by Niasse, wriggles towards the area but then scoops his shot a long way over.

Simon Francis barges Aaron Lennon over near the corner to concede a free kick, but it's a poor effort from Tom Cleverley - too low and easily cut out by Andrew Surman at the near post.

The home fans look and sound bored -  it's been mundane and moribund since the goals early on.

There's a few murmurs of discontent around Goodison as the home side fail to turn possession into a threat on goal.

The ball rolls towards Callum Wilson on the right, but this time young Matthew Pennington gets to it ahead of the striker and finds his keeper confidently.

The day's first corner loops towards Steve Cook, but the Bournemouth defender puts his header a long way high and wide.
