Overview
- Bournemouth overturned a halftime deficit at Hill Dickinson Stadium with second‑half headers from Rayan and Amine Adli after Iliman Ndiaye’s first‑half penalty, and Everton’s Jake O’Brien was later sent off.
- Rayan has produced a goal or assist in each of his first three Premier League appearances, a feat Opta notes only Robbie Keane and Anthony Martial had previously achieved as teenagers.
- The 19‑year‑old joined from Vasco da Gama on January 27 for a reported £24.7m plus add‑ons to help offset the January departure of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City for a reported £65m.
- Centre‑back James Hill earned man of the match for dominant aerial work and for heading an Alex Scott free kick across goal for Adli’s winner, underscoring his growing set‑piece value.
- Andoni Iraola praised Rayan’s character but criticized Bournemouth’s play after Everton went down to ten men, and he is set to serve a one‑game suspension following his third yellow card of the season.
