The hosts made a bright start to the match, as Dan Gosling fired wide on the half-volley, before Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard kept out efforts from Matt Ritchie and Joshua King.

Everton improved as the first half went on, forcing two good saves out of Adam Federici from Arouna Kone and the head of Romelu Lukaku.

Federici's clean sheet lasted until the 25th minute, when Ramiro Funes Mori rose highest at a Ross Barkley corner to net his first goal for the Merseyside club.

Everton doubled their lead 10 minutes later, as Gerard Deulofeu found Lukaku, before the Belgian striker outmuscled Steve Cook on his way to finding the net with a right-footed effort.

Bournemouth came agonisingly close to pulling a goal back before half time, when John Stones was forced to clear a Simon Francis header off his own line.

The match opened up after the break, as Ritchie was denied by Howard, before Lukaku fired wide at the other end of the pitch.

Bournemouth continued to push for a way back into the game, with Gosling and Charlie Daniels both having efforts on goal kept out by Howard, while Stanislas saw an effort deflect away for a corner moments later.

Eddie Howe's side dominated possession but were growing in frustration, as Howard again denied Ritchie from a tame effort on 69 minutes.

The Cherries finally found the back of the net on 80 minutes, as a cleared corner fell to Adam Smith, who struck an 18-yard effort past the Everton keeper.

Bournemouth completed the comeback on 87 minutes, when Glenn Murray took a quick free kick to find King, who played in Stanislas for the hosts' equaliser.

With five minutes of added time to play, the hosts pushed for victory, and came agonisingly close to taking the lead when Daniels headed narrowly over the bar from a Ritchie corner.

Everton thought they had broken Bournemouth hearts in the fifth minute of added time, as the Cherries struggled to clear a Kone cross, before Barkley converted the rebound to give the Toffees a late lead.

Roberto Martinez's celebrations were short-lived though, as just one minute later Stanislas headed in from a Daniels cross to secure a point for the South Coast side.
