Everton suffered a 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
David Brooks scored in the 77th minute to secure the three points for the hosts on 4 January.
The Toffees failed to create much all game and did not find the back of the net.
Here are our player ratings:
Jordan Pickford – 6
Made a number of saves all game and there was little he could do to prevent the ball from going into the back of the net.
Ashley Young – 4
His crossing was off it right from the start and he was far from comfortable in possession.
James Tarkowski – 6
Defended well and was tidy in possession as he managed to keep the Bournemouth attackers at bay.
Jarrad Branthwaite – 4
Was poor in the concession of the goal as he dunked, making things easy for the hosts to score and also picked up a yellow card.
Vitalii Mykolenko – 6
Did a solid job defensively and while he may have wanted to contribute more in the final third, it just wasn’t to be.
Orel Mangala – 7
Had a solid outing in the middle of the work and performed his role well.
Idrissa Gueye – 8
Was incredible in possession as he bossed the midfield exceptionally and also won most of his duels in the middle of the park.
Jesper Lindstrom – 2
Was undoubtedly the worst player on the pitch and was rightly taken off by Dyche at the break as he failed to do anything properly.
Abdoulaye Doucoure – 3
Kept getting bullied in the air as well as on the ground and it wasn’t a performance worth writing home about.
Iliman Ndiaye – 6
Offered some kind of threat in the final third but unfortunately failed to find the back of the net for the Toffees.
Armando Broja – 4
Was struggling to get into the game before he had to be taken off in the 32nd minute due to an injury.
Substitutes
Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 4
Much like Broja, he struggled to get involved in proceedings and failed to attempt a single shot on goal.
Nathan Patterson – 5
Looked to make things happen in the final third and the Toffees looked much better going forward with him in the team.
Harrison Armstrong – 3
Got bullied in midfield and was far from comfortable with the ball at his feet.
Beto – 4
Came on late in the game to turn things around but failed to make that happen.
