Jack Grealish and the travelling Everton fans who had trekked down to Bournemouth deserved their magic moment together. Grealish opened his Blues account in style with the first-ever stoppage time winner at Hill Dickinson Stadium to complete a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory to deny FA Cup holders Crystal Palace from extending their unbeaten run to 20 matches and here he added another bit of history to double his account.
The Vitality Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for Everton, but eight days after David Moyes’ men became the first team to triumph in a Premier League game at Old Trafford after having a player sent off against Manchester United, they recorded their first success in the competition on their travels against the Cherries.

Grealish is a talent of unquestioned quality, the first £100million English footballer who has won everything at Manchester City, but as Moyes has acknowledged, he can still add more goals to his game and he showed here that if you don’t buy a ticket, you can’t win the lottery, but thankfully the Brummie ace’s number came up here.
The 30-year-old had to dig in against the Red Devils in the previous away match, but here he was back to his usual role of tormenting the opposition defence and the constant probing paid off in fine style.
