· Yahoo Sports
Everton boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC MOTD: "I didn't think a goal was coming. We stuck at it, resilient, we were good away from last season so hopefully we can keep it going.
"We needed somebody to come up with something. We did some amazing blocks late in the game. Pleased with a point.

"Might want the transfer window left open so we can get a few more players in! It closes Tuesday, let's see what happens. I have said we could do with strengthening and hopefully we can do that.
"We have a good basis. Let's hope we can build on it.
"I don't think we can afford to lose any players, certainly not our better ones. The club dictates a lot of that and we will see how the next few days go."
Everton captain James Tarkowski, speaking to BBC Final Score about his goal: "I just hit the target, that's all I aim to do. The ball fell to me and it was fortunate. A few of their players got in each other's way. With a wet pitch like that, there's every chance it goes in.
On how tough it was to play Bournemouth: "It was a tough game. I think in the first half we were the better side and just before the goal we dominated the play. Bournemouth are quick on the counter and they got up the other end and punished us. In the second half they had a bit more chances than we had. We stuck in the game and thankfully I put the chance away. We'll take it. Set pieces are super important. We want to score goals from them and today it happened."
"The defensive work from the lads around me and in front of me and Jordan [Pickford] in goal was brilliant. It's a tough game here. We stuck right in there and got the point on the road. Just wait for your opportunity and it came to me and I scored."
