#1 Hit: Callum Wilson

Wilson was a real nuisance for Everton to deal with, typified by this picture

Now, I also could have chosen Ryan Fraser (game-high four key passes!) here but instead, I've picked Callum Wilson. He won Bournemouth a spot-kick, hit the post and could have scored a hat-trick of his own too.

Naturally the focus will be on his missed chances, though he was unfortunate and forced Pickford into an important diving save under pressure from Mason Holgate - who himself was lucky not to give away a penalty after being overzealous from behind.

His header created Aké's equaliser, having cannoned back off the woodwork and he proved a real handful for both centre-backs once more after an impressive display away at West Ham last weekend.

Tireless running when out of possession, he combined with strike partner Joshua King to apply stress and hurry Everton's plans to distribute out from their backline. Another impressive display, he was very unlucky not to be on the scoresheet here but it's obvious he's making up for lost time after suffering two cruciate ligament injuries in successive seasons.
