Everton claimed a crucial 1–0 away victory over Bournemouth, with Jack Grealish delivering the decisive moment in the 78th minute. The win marks a strong response from Everton after recent struggles, while Bournemouth continue to slide after suffering back-to-back defeats. The result lifts Everton to 9th place in the Premier League table, while Bournemouth drop to 14th.
⚽ Jack Grealish Provides the Breakthrough
The match remained tight and tactical for long stretches, with neither side able to find a clear opening. But in the 78th minute, Jack Grealish stepped up with a composed finish that broke the deadlock and ultimately secured all three points for the Toffees.
The Everton midfielder showed brilliant movement to latch onto a through ball, beating the Bournemouth back line before slotting home the match-winner.
📊 Match Stats Reflect a Balanced Contest

Their move up to 9th place puts them back into the race for European contention if they can maintain this form.
