Ross Barkley was sure he'd won it, and for good reason. So were the Evertonians, who evaded security and joined a dogpile on the pitch. But Junior Stanislas found what will probably be the latest equalizer you'll see this season, and the match finished 3-3.
That goal could be huge for Bournemouth, who are going to need every lucky point they can get to stay in the Premier League. It could be huge for Everton, too, who need just as many lucky breaks to finish top seven and return to European competition.
