Seamus Coleman’s unintended goal in the opening minute of the second half’s extra time led to Everton’s 2-1 loss against Bournemouth on Saturday, extending their poor Premier League streak to 12 games without a victory.
Beto’s goal in the 87th minute, which canceled out Dominic Solanke’s earlier goal in the 64th minute, appeared to secure a crucial point for Sean Dyche’s Everton. However, a late misfortune saw Coleman deflect a deep cross from Adam Smith into his net, denying Everton any points.
This is a critical period for Everton, currently positioned 16th in the league. Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri expressed optimism about the imminent completion of the club’s takeover by 777 Partners, anticipating a brighter future.
Additionally, Everton faces the looming decision on a second charge of breaching the Premier League’s financial regulations, which could potentially result in further point deductions, supplementing the six they have already incurred.
Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams made his first club start since March 11 last year for Leeds. He recently recovered from a hamstring injury that required surgery twice and notably scored in the United States’ victory over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League last weekend.
