Everton humbled by Bournemouth

Everton's long wait to win a trophy will not end with the League Cup after Frank Lampard's men were well beaten 4-1 by Bournemouth on Tuesday.

In the first of two meetings between the clubs in five days, Bournemouth got the better of two much-changed sides as Jamal Lowe, Junior Stanislas, Emiliano Marcondes and Jaidon Anthony struck on the south coast.

Demarai Gray briefly gave the Toffees hope when he reduced the arrears to 2-1 early in the second half.

But Everton have now won just once in their last seven games with the FA Cup their only hope of ending a 28-year drought without silverware. – AFP
