    Callum Wilson sets up Matt Ritchie, who tees off from 25 yards but Leighton Baines takes a stinging shot to the body and blocks well.

    Home fans are applauding a couple of good touches from Niasse, but I wonder what Romelu Lukaku, benched today, is thinking?

    The average positions of each side show how cagey this has been so far, despite the two goals.

    We've seen very little from Oumar Niasse, Everton's third-most expensive signing ever, so far.

    Besic puts Tim Howard under huge pressure with a tap back from inside the area, but the American keeper keeps calm, carries on and clears to a team-mate rather than hoofing it into row Z.

    Everton 1-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are looking strong in midfield and are regularly winning the ball back. Ross Barkley gets the ball back eventually and shoots on target, but a defender gets in the way to loop the ball away to safety.

    "I don't know what Everton are appealing for, maybe a little push but there is not a lot in it. That looks like a perfectly decent goal."

    The goal has spurred Bournemouth on, and they're having the better of it against a shell-shocked home side.

    Marc Pugh

    Marc Pugh equalises within seconds, Joshua King appears to have barged past Penningon to cross towards Wilson. His effort rebounded to Pugh, who rolled the ball back across and into the net.

    Everton were not happy and protested to the referee, but the goal stands. A nightmare for the Toffees and Martinez after such a fine start.

    Tom Cleverley

    Tom Cleverley takes a low pass from the left onto his right boot before quickly switching and sweeping his shot in past Boruc's left hand from the edge of the box. Great start for the Toffees, just what their manager would have wanted.

    Matt Ritchie swings in a cross from the right towards Callum Wilson, but John Stones cuts it out with his forehead. Muhamed Besic then slides in with a perfectly timed tackle in the box to deny Bournemouth on their left flank.

    As big an achievement staying up as getting promoted. Already worrying about second-season syndrome!

    A banner reading "Justice at last - 96 - brothers in arms" is unfurled as Goodison gives lengthy and hugely emotional applause for Margaret Aspinall, Jenni Hicks and other relatives of Liverpool supporters who died at Hillsborough out on the pitch right now.
