PREM: Bournemouth 2-2 Everton

Ake wheels away after slotting home his equaliser with time running out

Bournemouth came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Everton at the Vitality, with both sides maintaining their unbeaten starts to the season despite being reduced to 10 men.

Everton forward Richarlison was the first to be shown a straight red card four minutes before half-time following a clash of heads in the area with Bournemouth right-back Adam Smith.

However, that did not affect the visitors, who went ahead through Theo Walcott's breakaway strike (56), before Adam Smith also saw red for hauling back the Everton goalscorer.

Marco Silva's team soon doubled their lead thanks to Michael Keane's header (66), only for the hosts to take a share of the spoils after goals in the final 15 minutes from Josh King - via the spot - and Nathan Ake.

The two sides started in confident fashion having both begun the season unbeaten, although it was Bournemouth who created the better openings.

Callum Wilson spurned the first after 16 minutes when stroking the ball over the bar with just Jordan Pickford to beat, before Ake mistimed a header with the goal gaping six minutes before the break.

Two minutes later, though, the visitors' task got a lot harder after a moment of recklessness from their £40m summer signing from Watford.

Adam Smith and Richarlison squared up to each other in the area, with both placing their foreheads against each other, before the Brazilian forward appeared to lean his into his opponents.

Referee Lee Probert immediately brandished the red card, with no action taken against Adam Smith, although it was Everton who actually opened the scoring with the first shot on target in the match.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's lovely reverse pass released Walcott down the right and the forward's pace sent him clear of the Bournemouth back line, before drilling the ball past Asmir Begovic at his near post.

The contest really appeared to swing Everton's way just past the hour-mark after Adam Smith was dismissed for pulling Walcott back as the winger latched on to Pickford's brilliant long through ball.

Even more so when Keane headed in Sigurdsson's cross at the far post after Bournemouth were caught out as Everton took a quick free kick, only for the home team to score twice in the final quarter of an hour.

Bournemouth were given hope when Leighton Baines gave Wilson a nudge in the back, with King converting the penalty 15 minutes from time. And just four minutes later Ake was on hand to stab home a rebound after Wilson's brilliant curling header from Jordon Ibe's right-wing corner had beaten Pickford, only to strike the post.
