D. Calvert-Lewin has scored a goal for Everton! Assist by A. Lookman.
Silva probably would have wanted Lookman to go to the corner with just seconds left on the clock, but credit to the youngster for taking matters into his own hands. Rather than running down the clock, Lookman looked up and picked out Calvert-Lewin to seal the win.
GOOOAAAALLL!! EVERTON 2-0 BOURNEMOUTH! That should do it! Following a bombardment on their goal, the home side lift all the weight off their shoulders through a killer second. Lookman leads the counter and pulls the ball back for Calvert-Lewin, who guides it home - possibly with a slight touch off Ake - from around 10 yards.
90' +4
SAVE! Bournemouth are refusing to give up, with Mousset turning a corner on target. It is a pretty weak first-time shot, though, and Pickford was always favourite to keep hold of the ball.
90' +3
Y. Mina enters the game and replaces G. Sigurðsson.
Silva eats up more seconds and strengthens his backline by introducing Mina for Sigurdsson.
90' +2
KEY TACKLE! Keane slides in and gets a foot to Gosling's close-range shot. Gosling has another bite of the cherry, but the angle is against him and Pickford is equal to it, conceding a corner in the process.
90' +1
It is pretty much all Bournemouth as we enter the first of five added-on minutes at Goodison Park. Everton scramble the ball clear, but only after Gomes caught Lerma in the head with his hand - silly, silly boy! Had the referee spotted that it would have been a penalty.
89'
Great goalkeeping from Pickford, who races off his line to get to the ball ahead of Fraser. Mousett's pass was a good one and Fraser probably would have converted from eight yards had Pickford not read the danger.
87'
D. Calvert-Lewin enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
Richarlison, who has been walking a disciplinary tightrope of sorts since picking up a yellow card, is replaced by Calvert-Lewin. Some fresh legs up top for Everton to see out the final stages.
86'
Silva is furious as Richarlison is not awarded a free-kick following a coming together near the dugout. This match has had an edge to it throughout the second half and could easily boil over.
84'
Richarlison gets yellow.
Richarlison is cautioned for leading with his elbow in an aerial challenge with Cook. Moments before that, the Brazil forward hammered the ball over the bar from 18 yards.
Minute
Description
83'
Brooks missed a big chance in the first half and has since gone off the boil. Ibe is on in his place.
82'
J. Ibe enters the game and replaces D. Brooks.
Possession has been split right down the middle in this second half. There has been very little between the teams today, which has also been the case all season long, but as things stand it is Everton who will add three more points to their tally.
80'
Everton are having to work hard for this victory, which would move them three points clear of their opponents. Richarlison's header is the closest either team has come to a goal since Zouma put the home side in front 20 minutes ago.
78'
T. Walcott enters the game and replaces Bernard.
Walcott will add some pace out wide in the final throes of the match in a like-for-like change for Bernard.
77'
CLOSE TO A SECOND! Everton have focused on defending over the past four or five minutes, but they so nearly double their advantage through a swift attack. Sigurdsson's delivery towards the penalty spot is a good one and Richarlison swoops down to direct it a couple of yards wide.
75'
King hobbles to the side of the pitch, where the treatment will continue. The Bournemouth free-kick is a dangerous one, but the home side eventually clear their lines after Pickford flaps at the cross.
73'
Gomes again lunges in on an opponent, this time King, and again dodges further action from the referee. Talk about walking a tightrope!
72'
Gomes clatters into Cook fairly late to concede a free-kick, but he is perhaps fortunate to have avoided a second yellow card. Everton fans are urging their players on, with the hosts being pushed right back over the last couple of minutes.
70'
Bournemouth have struggled to find any sort of rhythm to their game since falling a goal down, not helped by the match being disrupted with a flurry or yellows and that Mousset substitution. Everton are looking far more assured on the ball now compared to the opening half an hour.
68'
L. Mousset enters the game and replaces J. Stanislas.
Play is disrupted once again, this time for the game's first substitution. Mousset is on for Stanislas in attack for the final quarter of the contest.
66'
K. Zouma gets yellow.
André Gomes gets yellow.
Zouma is also cautioned for reacting angrily to the awarding of a free-kick to Bournemouth. The referee Anthony Taylor needs to get the game under control.
Gomes is booked for what I can only assume is dissent, having been left unhappy by the referee's decision to award Bournemouth a free-kick.
65'
M. Keane gets yellow.
Keane is cautioned for a crunching challenge on Fraser. The foul was not enough to halt the counter, though, with King firing wide from a promising position.
63'
It could be argued that the Everton goal had been coming, but Howe will point out that his side had a flurry of opportunities in the first half. The onus is now on the visitors to get at their opponents and find an equaliser in the remaining 27 minutes.
61'
K. Zouma has scored a goal for Everton! Assist by L. Digne.
Digne picked up the ball in a central position 20 yards from goal and took it down the left, before putting it right on Zouma's head for his second Premier League assist.
GOOOOAAAALLL!! EVERTON 1-0 BOURNEMOUTH! Zouma scores his first goal for Everton to give the home side lift off! Lerma's clearance from Sigurdsson's corner is pounced on by Digne, who drives to the byline and hangs the ball up at the front post for his team-mate to head past a stranded Begovic. No idea what Begovic, Ake or Cook were doing there - Zouma was in acres of space.
58'
Bournemouth's best move of the second half culminates in Brooks slotting the ball through for Stanislas, who is unable to get to it is flagged for offside regardless. With the hour mark fast approaching, which manager will be first to turn to their bench?
56'
Lerma, the most cautioned player in the Premier League this season, brings down Bernard 30 yards from goal. He avoids another booking but a bigger punishment may have followed from the free-kick had Sigurdsson's delivery not been underhit.
54'
No goals at Goodison Park with close to 10 minutes of the second half played, then, but it has been a lively encounter. Both teams have hit the frame of the goal, while goal-line technology was also required to deny Richarlison a goal a few minutes ago. The sides are canceling each other out at the moment.
52'
CLOSE! Bournemouth have barely managed to get out of their own half in this second half. Some welcome respite now, though, as Adam gets forward down the left and earns a corner from Coleman's block. Cook meets the set-piece, directing the ball onto the roof of the net.
49'
Sigurdsson's cross from the from the right has a little too much on it for Bernard, who has two defenders to contend with. Everton have picked up from where they left off in the first half.
47'
A fast start to the second half for Everton. Sigurdsson sprays the ball out to Bernard, who pulls it back for Gomes to blast over the crossbar with a first-time effort from the edge of the box.
46'
Everton get us back underway at Goodison Park!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: EVERTON 0-0 BOURNEMOUTH
45'
Sigurdsson drags the ball wide of the target on his weaker foot. There will be one minute of added time.
44'
Digne's free-kick hits the Bournemouth wall and his follow-up shot from 25 yards also hits an opposition player. Just one minute of normal time to come at the end of a fairly lively first half.
40'
Howe's side dominated the opening half an hour or so of the match, but Everton have slowly grown into the contest and they are starting to play some nice football. Coleman is played in down the right following some good build-up from Lookman and Richarlison, but his cross is blocked behind.
38'
Bernard gets yellow.
Bernard is shown the first yellow card of the contest for bringing down Bournemouth left-back Smith.
Everton are now the side on top as we enter the final stages of the first half. Lookman in particular is starting to have plenty of joy out wide, sending in a teasing ball right across the six-yard box which neither Richarlison nor Bernard can convert.
36'
Much better from Everton over the past few minutes. Bernard sends an outswinging cross into the middle, which a couple of Bournemouth players miss, but Clyne gets a vital touch to the ball when it eventually falls to Lookman.
34'
Good defending from Keane to get something on Fraser's delivery ahead of Ake, who would have had a simple header five yards out. Everton stand firm when the resultant corner is sent into the box.
32'
At long, long last, Everton have finally awoken! Lookman uses his pace to get on the end of Sigurdsson's pass down the right and picks out Bernard in the middle, but the forward has a little too much to do and can only send his header high and wide.
30'
Everton have been terrible in the opening half an hour, it must be said. The home side have offered little in an attacking sense and have spent most of their time trying to keep their opponents out. Howe's biggest concern will be that it remains 0-0.
28'
LET OFF FOR PICKFORD! Fraser pounces on a weak clearance from Pickford by charging to the byline and lofting the ball into the middle for King, but the striker gets under it and heads over the crossbar. Pickford is a relieved man.
23'
Howe's men have been by far the better side with a quarter of the match now played, creating one big chance in particular which Brooks was unable to take. The possession count is split 50-50, but Everton have barely managed to get on the ball in their opponents' final third.
21'
Ake goes in hard on Richarlison but the free-kick is not awarded. Pickford is not happy with the pass back to him from Zouma, being forced to boot the ball out of play for a Bournemouth throw.
19'
Everton are almost playing like the away side, with Bournemouth seeing more of the ball and penning their opponents in high up the pitch. Nearly 20 minutes played and Richarlison has had four touches of the ball - not good enough.
17'
There are plenty of groans around Goodison Park as the home supporters are frustrated by what they have seen so far. Everton have not got going at all and really should be a goal down - King and Brooks have both missed presentable opportunities.
13'
PENALTY SHOUT! Brooks is proving a real threat for Bournemouth in the early stages of this match. The Wales attacker does well to get between Gomes and Gueye, with the latter appearing to clip his opponent's legs, but the referee Anthony Taylor adjudges that the contact was too minimal to award a penalty.
11'
Not the best piece of defending from Keane for that big chance for King, which the Norway striker probably should have converted. Bournemouth are the side on top here as Brooks is sent tumbling outside the box.
9'
CHANCE! The first chance of the match falls to King, who is in desperate need of a goal to boost his confidence. A cross into the middle is flicked towards the back post, where Fraser is waiting to meet it, but King is unable to divert the ball past Pickford with his poked finish from the cut-back.
8'
The match has started with a pretty slow tempo. Neither side has managed to really put together a serious attacking move yet, with Sigurdsson's free-kick the liveliest moment in the opening eight minutes.
6'
Bournemouth are enjoying a spell on top, patiently knocking the ball from back to front. It looks as though the visitors' best route to goal today will be down the flanks, with Fraser and Stanislas both capable of getting in behind.
4'
Everton win a free-kick for Smith's challenge on Lookman, which Sigurdsson sends into a dangerous area. The ball hits a couple of players before being collected by Begovic in the Bournemouth goal.
2'
A positive start to the match for Bournemouth. Fraser drives down the left-hand side and tries to pull the ball back for King, only for Bernard to win back possession for his side.
1'
Bournemouth get us underway at Goodison Park!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Everton and Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
Everton have won just one of their last eight league matches - a 5-1 victory at Burnley on Boxing Day - and have slipped into the bottom half of the division, five points adrift of Marco Silva’s former club Watford in seventh. Bournemouth have also been in poor form in recent weeks, meanwhile, losing eight of their last 11 in the Premier League to leave them level with their opponents on 27 points.
Everton subs: Tom Davies, Cenk Tosun, Maarten Stekelenburg, Yerry Mina, Theo Walcott, Jonjoe Kenny, Dominic Calvert-Lewin
EVERTON XI (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman (c), Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma, Lucas Digne; Andre Gomes, Idrissa Gueye; Ademola Lookman, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard; Richarlison
BOURNEMOUTH XI (4-4-1-1): Asmir Begovic; Nathaniel Clyne, Steve Cook (c), Nathan Ake, Adam Smith; Junior Stanislas, Jefferson Lerma, Dan Gosling, Ryan Fraser; David Brooks; Joshua King
Bournemouth subs: Lys Mousset, Jordon Ibe, Jack Simpson, Diego Rico, Andrew Surman, Charlie Daniels, Artur Boruc
The two teams are now out on the field at Goodison Park and we are moments away from kick-off. Everton have lost four of their last five Premier League games and are in desperate need of a victory to climb back up the division, and the same is true for out-of-form opponents Bournemouth, who have also struggled to put points on the board over the past couple of months. The sides are level on points so there is plenty to play for today!
For the second home league match running, Everton go into the half-time interval without an on-target shot to their name. Silva's men certainly grew into the first half, grazing the crossbar through a Keane header 43 minutes in, but Bournemouth have been the better side overall and should have converted one of their two big chances - Brooks hitting the post from a one-on-one position and King failing to get any real power on his close-range attempt early on.
Everton supporters will take encouragement from the way their side ended the first half, but for half an hour the hosts were pretty terrible. Silva may well be tempted to turn to his bench for the start of the second half, while Howe has the likes of Ibe and Mousset to bring on should he wish to change things around slightly in attack.
Thanks for joining our coverage today. Until next time, goodbye!
After earning just a second league win in eight outings to get their campaign back on track, Everton now switch focus to next weekend's trip to strugglers Southampton. An out-of-form Bournemouth, meanwhile, host to West Ham in six days' time, seeking a first win in six matches in all competitions.
