Bournemouth keep digging out results

You can't underestimate a team that manages to pull out results from games when it is not playing as well as it can. Bournemouth have found a way of keeping themselves in games in the last two matches, when they didn't dominate possession, or look like keeping clean sheets. While the points keep gathering up, it is important that the team continues to work hard to try and find the missing elements to their best game.
The Red Army is having to come from behind in games it seems in 2018.
I should think that Eddie Howe learned more about his team in the match with Everton than in the previous two matches of the season. There were some good bits and some fundamental frustrations, such as Everton's first goal that seemed far too easy and the switching off for the second goal that went in. Begovic didn't exactly come out guilt free in making it difficult for Theo Walcott and Charlie Daniels had been caught well up field for the first Everton goal, which is where Everton then attacked.

Wilson probably should have done better with his chance against Pickford when King put him through with an amazing pass, before the penalty incident. It seems Wilson needs two or three chances to get on the score sheet, and yet he was certainly shoved by Holgate enough for him to be effected when taking his shot.

Once Bournemouth had got a foothold in the game though and had a target of needing just one more goal to get something from the game, there was little doubt that they could achieve their objective. The hunger for the goal that came through Nathan Aké's close finish had been coming and building up. Bournemouth had managed to put Everton on the back foot for the first time in the game.

If the team continues to be disappointed with not always picking up three points, then they are in a good place. Digging out results is what keeps teams in this league and Bournemouth are showing plenty of fight and spirit to want to achieve something that surpasses what they have done in previous seasons.
