Evanilson earns last-gasp draw for Cherries
Evanilson scored a 96th-minute equaliser as Bournemouth rescued a thrilling 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
The hosts bossed proceedings for much of the game, but Mark Travers’s goalkeeping heroics for Bournemouth kept the fixture goalless for 76 minutes.
Ross Barkley came off the bench to find the breakthrough for Unai Emery's side, which posted a 2-0 win against Bologna in midweek to go top of the 32-team UEFA Champions League table.
But there was to be a twist deep in stoppage-time as Bournemouth produced some late drama.
Substitute Evanilson headed in from Marcus Tavernier's free-kick to snatch a point for the Cherries and frustrate Villa, which had a goal overturned by VAR in the first half.
Third-placed Villa is now five points behind leader Manchester City, while Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth sits 10th, having collected 12 points from nine matches.
