But they were soon brought crashing back down to earth as an eight-minute catastrophic spell halted any talk of a continental tour. Iliman Ndiaye’s first-half penalty was cancelled out by a cheap Rayan header on 61 minutes before fellow winger Amine Aldi put Bournemouth ahead on 64. Four minutes after that, Everton defender Jake O’Brien was sent off for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Moroccan winger Adli could have had another if O’Brien had not tugged him down when through on goal in a red-card offence. It does not define their European bid but this defeat could be one Moyes comes to regret.
