The Park End was awash before kick-off with banners commemorating Everton’s five FA Cup triumphs, each one part of the competition’s 132-year history at Goodison Park. History is where Goodison and the FA Cup will remain. Bournemouth ensured there will never be another cup tie at the grand old stadium as Andoni Iraola’s team defeated Everton for the third time this season.
Two James Tarkowski errors contributed to the two Bournemouth goals, a penalty from the impressive Antoine Sememyo plus a bundled effort from Daniel Jebbison leaving David Moyes’ side with the proverbial mountain to climb by half-time. Everton did their best to stage a second half recovery only to strike the post three times.
