Bournemouth 1-1 Everton: Tarkowski's 90th-minute leveller
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 2.16 v 1.84, yet the match ended 1-1
- 7 of Bournemouth's 17 shots were blocked
- 7 shots on target for Everton, 5 for Bournemouth
Bournemouth led for about 49 minutes
Alex Scott's goal in the 41st minute, created by Evanilson, put Bournemouth in front, and they stayed ahead for about 49 minutes. It took until the 90th minute for Everton to respond, with James Tarkowski supplying the equaliser. The match finished level, with the visitors collecting their point right at the end of normal time.
Seven blocked shots and a low strike rate
Bournemouth's xG of 2.16 produced only one goal. Seven of their shots were blocked and just 29% were on target, even though most of them came from inside the box. That suggests they found good positions but kept running into bodies before the ball could properly test Jordan Pickford.
Everton kept pace with shots on target
Everton had less of the ball but seven shots on target showed they could hurt Bournemouth. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall led all players in key passes, while both goalkeepers were kept busy: Jordan Pickford made four saves and Đorđe Petrović five, which is why the scoreline stayed at 1-1.
The leveller undid the opener's value
Scott's opener was worth +1.1 FN xPts to Bournemouth. Tarkowski's goal in the 90th minute handed almost exactly that amount back to Everton, worth +1.0 FN xPts for the visitors. Having spent the longer stretch in front, Bournemouth saw the reward from that lead disappear at the very last.
Player of the match
James Tarkowski 8.5Dominant
He was first in the FN Score, with the 90th-minute equaliser and three interceptions.
James Tarkowski's biggest gains came in attack: his only shot was on target and it was the equaliser, and he added one key pass. He also won nine of 11 duels, so he was just as busy at the other end. The goal came in the 90th minute, ending a Bournemouth lead that had lasted about 49 minutes.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
