Watch the Bournemouth vs Everton highlights as substitute David Brooks scored the only goal of the game on the south coast.
Bournemouth Vs Everton Report
David Brooks netted a fine 77th-minute volley as Bournemouth beat Everton 1-0 in a scrappy affair at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Wales international had only been on the pitch for six minutes before he expertly picked the Toffees lock. After their first Premier League win of the year, the Cherries move up to 7th spot.
Amazingly, Andoni Iraola’s side are just three points off a UEFA Champions League place. The Spanish manager is proving to be one of the finest managers in England’s elite presently.
Furthermore, the south coast side are now unbeaten in their last eight top-flight fixtures. Their last defeat came against Brighton on November 23.
Ironically, Brooks netted his only other league goal of the season in that 2-1 loss. The 27-year-old’s sublime volley from Milos Kerkez’s brought about greater celebrations than it did against the Seagulls.

A superb return of 33 points from 20 top-flight games has given ers hopes of achieving European football next season. This afternoon, the south coast side even treated their loyal fans to half price pizza!
Substitute David Brooks goal was certainly head and tomatoes above anything else any other outfield players on the pitch could muster up.
The 27-year-old ensured all three points with his fine finish. A stubborn Everton side offered little but Sean Dyche’s side thought they levelled late on but Abdoulaye Doucoure’s effort went agonisingly wide.
