Everton manager Sam Allardyce has said that his side gifted Bournemouth victory after they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
The Toffees have themselves to blame as two mistakes from them were what ultimately led to the Cherries prevailing on the day.
Ryan Fraser managed to bag a brace after the Toffees were guilty of losing possession in midfield with Morgan Schneiderlin and James McCarthy in particular being guilty culprits.
Allardyce has since admitted that he was disappointed with the way that his troops performed. He said: “I feel disappointed because of the way we gave it away, really. We gave them the opportunity to score the winner even though it’s got a bad deflection and gone into the net. We shouldn’t have allowed them to get into that position in the first place.
“We had good possession in their half and just gifted it back to them. They punished us in the end.
“The first goal we gave away was a gift as well, so we’ve been not like that since I’ve got here. Those errors have been few and far between. Those errors were in plain sight for me today, and we have to talk about cutting them out as quickly as possible, certainly with a game coming up in 48 hours.”
The resulted also marked the Merseysiders first defeat under Allardyce.
