Everton are about to leave Goodison Park after 133 years. Never has the mood inside the famous old stadium turned from celebration to despair as quickly as this.

Sean Dyche’s side outplayed their opponents for 87 minutes and led 2-0 more than deservedly.

Yet still they ended up with nothing and head into the international break without a point from three games.

Conceding three times in nine minutes, including twice in injury-time, to turn victory into defeat will leave scars.

No Premier League team has surrendered a two-goal advantage so late and lost.

It was so unexpected because for most of the afternoon Goodison Park had been bouncing. Tributes were paid to former striker Kevin Campbell whose family attended and it inspired current No9 Dominic Calvert-Lewin who set up Michael Keane for the opening goal and then scored himself.

Then, out of nowhere, Antoine Semenyo threw Bournemouth a lifeline with three minutes of normal time left. Everton panicked. Lewis Cook levelled after 92minute, Jordan Pickford made two saves to keep Everton level but was powerless to stop substitute Luis Sinisterra heading the winner in the sixth minute of injury-time.

Dyche’s players looked ashen-faced at full-time and were greeted in the dressing-room by a furious manager.

‘We didn’t do the basics. If we’d won our tackles and headers, we win the game,’ fume.

‘The match lasts as long as the referee makes it. You’ve got to take responsibility until the end. We were standing waiting for someone else to do it.

‘From their first goal, I could smell it in the air, I thought this ain’t right. I was screaming at them to keep our shape and do the ugly side, but we didn’t.

‘I have had a few tough defeats to take down the years and this is the most frustrating. To be that dominant and come out with nothing.

‘As a manager, you’re scratching your head. We were still trying one-twos and going for overlaps. We were in control. We didn’t need to stretch the pitch. It is the absolute basics of football.’

Home fans booed loudly at the end. They will question why star man Iliman Ndiaye was substituted after 83 minutes when the team were cruising. Dyche said the Senegal international was fatigued.

Iraola saw his team come from 3-0 down to beat Luton last season but considered this comeback even more unlikely.

‘Everton had the situation under control and we needed something to happen to start believing and make them fear,’ he said. ‘They deserved to win.’

Bournemouth’s debut goalkeeper Kepa, on loan from Chelsea, made saves from Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil to keep his side level until the deadlock was broken after 50 minutes.

Calvert-Lewin was the focal point when Jack Harrison drove the ball towards him in the box.

The former England player chested down brilliantly and Keane swept the ball home from close range like an accomplished striker, running away with his arms outstretched in celebration.

Kepa saved from Coleman but Everton seemed to have wrapped up the points when Calvert-Lewin added a second after 57 minutes with a finish Super Kev would have been proud of.

McNeil picked out a pass from his new position as a No10 and the striker showed pace to reach the ball first and dink the onrushing ‘keeper.

Kepa made more saves from Harrison and Ndiaye to keep the scoreline at two. But a bust-up between Keane and Antoine Semenyo after 76 minutes gave Bournemouth a sense of purpose and their substitutes suddenly changed the course of the afternoon.

One of them, Dango Ouattara, crossed for Semenyo to reduce arrears. And another, Sinisterra, then put the ball on Cook’s head for a dramatic equaliser.

Mykolenko was among the Everton players who collapsed on the pitch in disbelief but things got even worse.

Pickford saved from James Tavernier and Semenyo as the Everton defence opened up alarmingly. They didn’t learn any lessons and with virtually last kick, Justin Kluivert crossed and Colombian Sinisterra headed in.
