After the break, Bournemouth struggled to clear Jack Harrison’s cross, allowing Michael Keane to score with a precise half-volley into the far corner, igniting the crowd at Goodison Park. As Everton's dominance grew, they extended their lead before the hour mark when McNeil's well-placed pass set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin to chip the ball over Kepa. Despite a triple substitution, Bournemouth were unable to halt Everton's momentum, and the game continued to slip away from them.
