Comments:

League position: 7th Everton had now already won more points at home this season (25) than they managed in the entire 2015-16 campaign (23). This was the first time that Romelu Lukaku had scored four goals in a Premier League game. He became the second player to score four goals in a Premier League game for the Toffees (also Louis Saha in a 5-3 win against Blackpool on 5 February 2011). This was only the second Premier League game at Goodison Park to witness nine goals (also Chelsea's 6-3 win on 30 August 2014). Romelu Lukaku's opening goal was timed at 30 seconds. Ross Barkley scored in the fourth minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 14th AFC Bournemouth had now lost four and drawn two of the six league and cup games they had played in 2017. The Cherries conceded six goals in a game for the first time since a 1-6 loss at Watford in the League Championship on 10 August 2013. They had now conceded at least three goals in nine of their last 13 league and cup games.
