In a jaw-dropping conclusion, Ross Barkley put Everton back in front deep into stoppage-time, only for Stanislas to equalise again with virtually the last kick.

But the drama wasn’t over yet.
The hosts drew level for the first time in the 87th minute when Stanislas fired home from Joshua King’s pull back.
Here’s a video of the final goal in this thriller.
Lukaku has been in brilliant form for Everton of late, netting eight times in his last eight Premier League games, and he is looking every inch the £28million striker the Blues hoped he would be when they signed him from Chelsea in the summer of 2014. “It reinforces the belief that we can compete”, Howe said.
Manager Eddie Howe has seen some success in the EPL this season, and we think it’s his ideals of staying true to the team, despite a slow star to the season.
Bournemouth started on top and could have gone a goal up after just three minutes.
“Obviously it’s a point for us but it’s a point that further enhances our mentality into believing in the way that we’re playing and the fact that we can get points from situations which look pretty desperate”. “We’ve worked very hard on our defensive shape in the last month”, Howe added.
He did it. Heading into this game all the talk was about Vardy and if the 28-year-old could set a new PL record of scoring in 11 consecutive games.
“You need to be focused”.
“His match experience will be important”, said Martinez.
The draw saw Everton drop two places to ninth in the Premier League table, and striker Romelu Lukaku, who scored their second, also rued their lack of composure.
That should have been good enough to secure the points, with a professional performance needed after the break to see the game home. To get his confidence back like he has now, he had to go and play for a team like Everton.
“If you’ve got goals in your side you’ve always got opportunities to win football games, and from that point of view there are similarities, but every team is very, very different”.

“Things that sometimes you can not really control and it feels devastating when you give that lead away, which I felt over the course of the 90 minutes we should know how to win the football game”.
