Successive home games for Everton,
and Sean Dyche says it's time to change the narrative.
Once more, last weekend Everton were left frustrated and beaten at Goodison Park,
having failed to take their chances.
Well, this afternoon it's another club visiting Goodison,
who've yet to win in this Premier League season.
And Everton need to ensure that remains the case come five o'clock.
A first home win of the campaign is becoming imperative.
One change for Everton from last week's starting XI,
and it's a full Everton Premier League debut for Jack Harrison,
who replaces Amadou Onana, who drops to the substitutes' bench.
And it's Bournemouth who will get us under way here.
Everton will attack the Park End goal away to our left in the first half.
There was a raucous atmosphere inside Goodison of course,
the last time Bournemouth were here, we all know what happened then.
Decore's goal will live long in the memory.
But that was Everton's last win at Goodison Park,
time to get up and running on home soil.
Here's the Ukrainian international defender, Zabani has lost it,
big chance Everton, Garner, one-nil.
Superbly struck home by James Garner, pouncing on a Bournemouth mistake.
And Everton in front early on, oh, that will do them the power of good.
Be the difference, said Sean Dyche, and James Garner is exactly that.
Taking the opportunity presented to him,
and he gets his first Premier League goal for Everton.
McNeil for Mikalenko, Brantwaite, now Young.
Harrison's turned it inside for Amadou Onana,
Onana for Decore, Decore for McNeil, he can hit them, he does, drags it wide.
You could see what he was trying to do, steer it into that far corner.
On his favoured left boot, Kopp, Sanessi, free kick.
So Dwight McNeil over this, free kick for Everton, 17 minutes played,
and Everton with a one-goal lead.
It's towards Tarkovsky, it's away as far as Harrison,
great touch, Harrison's shot blocked, might have been an Everton player,
Decore took a deflection, and that was kind for Bournemouth in the end,
because Neto was able to make the save.
Everton close to doubling their lead.
Calvert-Lewin, faced by Sanessi, he's got the better of him there,
he's done really well, Calvert-Lewin, he's going all the way.
Tried to cut it back for someone to steer it home,
and didn't quite find Decore who was closest to it.
Good work from Calvert-Lewin.
Here's Decore, he's trying to find Calvert-Lewin now,
and that will be an Everton corner.
Well, he did well, the centre-forward operating as a right winger here.
Got the better of his man.
Couldn't quite find Decore, came very close,
corner sent in, little break for Mikalenko!
And it was blocked by Lewis Cook.
Vitaly Mikalenko looking to get on the scoresheet.
Just the one Everton goal in his career so far with the Blues.
James Garner on corner duty from the Bullens' roadside of the ground.
Neopost flicked on!
And Brantley got that flick on.
Harrison keeps it alive for Everton.
Harrison's ball in, punched away by the keeper,
he could have caught that, surely.
It's to Everton's benefit, because Mikalenko sent it in,
and it's another punch from Neto.
And sent back by Harrison, what a goal!
Brilliantly, Jack Harrison!
Sublime!
That was superb.
And Everton have scored more than one at Goodison
for the first time in almost 12 months.
And Jack Harrison, on his full Premier League debut for Everton,
has scored an absolute beauty.
Decore, Harrison, Young.
It's good ball in, Calvert-Lewin off the crossbar!
Everton so close to a third,
and Dominic Calvert-Lewin so close to a fourth in four games.
And still Everton press.
Anana, McNeil, Mikalenko.
Back in again, Anana so close!
On the turn, inches away from putting Everton 3-0 up in this game,
as was Calvert-Lewin just moments ago.
Everton have got Bournemouth on the rack here.
And Anana just inches away.
Well, that is half-time at Goodison Park,
we haven't been able to say this for a long, long time.
Everton with a two-goal lead at the break, fully deserved to.
James Garner in the eighth minute, getting his first Premier League goal for the club.
And Jack Harrison with his first goal for Everton.
Another mistake, and Everton pounce again!
Decore, but straight at the keeper.
Another chance, courtesy of a Bournemouth error.
Again, Zbigniew Decore could only hit it straight at the goalkeeper.
Tarkovsky taking no chances.
Driven forward by Pickford, brilliant control by Calvert-Lewin.
And a fine effort too, what a touch that was to bring it down.
And then the effort on goal wasn't too bad either.
This would have been a goal of the season, contender had this gone in.
Tarkovsky thundering in, here's Harrison.
Harrison, he was just looking to flick that ball through to McNeil,
but no free kick was coming his way either.
Won back by Inanna from Smith, here's Decore.
Decore for McNeil, big chance here for Everton,
it's Harrison, it's blocked, and it's battered home by Decore!
And Everton are 3-0 up.
Taking Bournemouth apart.
And Decore does it.
He's got one that makes this game look so much more comfortable now.
Here's Kerkes, this cross will be collected by, via a deflection, Jordan Pickford.
Here come Everton again, Calvert-Lewin getting in behind, Calvert-Lewin!
He's just poked it wide, he had to lift it over an advancing goalkeeper,
but he just couldn't keep it on target.
Surely an Everton fourth is coming, and Calvert-Lewin wants his name on it.
McNeil, great turn.
Dwight McNeil, threading it in for Beto, Beto!
Side netting.
Coming close to his first Premier League goal for the club,
into the side netting after another driving run from McNeil.
And the full-time whistle sounds at Goodison Park.
Everton's last home win before today
was against Bournemouth in the final home game of last season.
There was a bit more jeopardy riding on that one than there was today,
but nevertheless Everton did their job superbly this afternoon
to record their first home win of this campaign
and their second Premier League win of this season.
