Dwight McNeil - Assist in loss to CherriesMcNeil assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), 12 crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

ImpactMcNeil played in an attacking role Saturday tucked in behind lead striker, Dominc Calvert-Lewin. He was one the Toffee's key playmakers, executing 12 crosses and creating three big chances. One of these opportunities produced the assist for Calvert-Lewin's goal, Everton's second. The attacking midfielder has been a consistent bright light in what has been a dismal start to his team's season. He also bagged a goal in their last match against Doncaster in the Caribou Cup.

Michael Keane - Goal in loss to CherriesKeane scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

ImpactKeane put in a solid shift Saturday. He was, as usual, the backbone of the Toffee's defense executing five clearances and an interception. In attack he managed three shots, scoring the game's opening goal with his only on target attempt. As a regular starter he should continue to make a difference to Everton's backline. From the season's opening three games he has contributed a total of 11 clearances and six interceptions.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Goal and assist in lossCalvert-Lewin scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

ImpactCalvert-Lewin made his mark on the game Saturday. He provided an assist for the Toffee's first scored by Michael Keane, and netted their second himself from his only on target strike. He was subbed after 88 minutes. The 27-year-old striker did not make much of an impact in the season's opening two games, hopefully this performance marks the start of better things. He scored seven and created two assists last season.

Jordan Pickford - Concedes three in lossPickford registered four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss against AFC Bournemouth.

ImpactPickford had a mediocre game Saturday, the saves he completed were ones you would expect him to make. He has yet to post a clean sheet this season and following an undistinguished run of form his position as England's choice keep might be in doubt, He will not have an easy ride in the Toffees next against Aston Villa, Villa have won two of their opening three games and bagged four goals.

Dango Ouattara - Assist in win over EvertonOuattara assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Everton.

ImpactOuattara took to the pitch after 66 minutes Saturday for Milos Kerkez as the Cherries tried to inject more attacking energy into their game. The strategy worked, with the 22-year-old producing the assist for the first of Bournemouth's three goals scored by Antoine Semenyo. Quattara is usually deployed from the bench when fresh legs are required, this was his first assist of the season his last was back in April.

Justin Kluivert - Assist in win over ToffeesKluivert assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Everton.

ImpactKluivert played tucked in behind lead striker Evanilson Saturday as an attacking midfielder. He was not at his best, losing possession 12 times and only managing one off target effort. He did however create the assist for Louis Sinsiterra's game winning strike in the 96th minute. It was the Dutchman's first assist, he is yet to score this season but did net a penalty in one of the Cherries pre-season friendlies.

Lewis Cook - First EPL goal in winCook scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win over Everton.

ImpactCook headed his first EPL goal Saturday. It was Bournemouth's second equalizing strike from his only attempt on target in a match that saw them erase a two goal deficit to snatch a 3-2 win. The team captain also put in a solid shift defensively engaging in three tackles, two interceptions, a clearance and making a block. The 27-year-old is part of the Cherries midfield engine room alongside Ryan Christie, neither player assists or scores often but they are usually the originators of moves that lead to goals.
