We are being treated to some wonderful goals from Josh King. The goal he got last week against Brighton was very different from the blast he put past Jordan Pickford at Everton, and it is clear that he is maturing as a striker.
Beating Pickford was always going to be difficult and yet once he was beaten, there was plenty of reason to think that he could be beaten again. Bournemouth kept on top for most of the game but they couldn't find that extra gear to fashion another goal. The performance was a good one and Josh will feel that he is now back and getting goals, but the team needs a bit of luck.
I thought Josh and Jermain are starting to hook up better with each other and they may yet for a partnership that clicks well enough to propel the team up the league. But the Cherries still have to find a sharper goal edge. King did not have a great deal of chances to get on the score sheet despite the possession the side had. What was good to see though was King taking on players again and heading right for goal. He is a powerful force when he does that and he just might have to be more selfish if he is to get near his 16 goals of last season.

| Josh King has found his goal touch. |
While the start of the season has not been that kind to King, he has upped his game in the last week and now looks more like the player that every Premier club would like to get their hands on again. Bournemouth needed something special to get the initiative against an Everton side that were strong at home, and when King raced in and put the Cherries ahead, it didn't appear that Everton would find it easy to pick themselves up from the blow. King buried his shot right in the corner and he couldn't have placed it any better.
