Everton remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season under manager David Moyes, relying on two late stoppage-time equalizers to avoid defeats against Bournemouth and Manchester United. Defender James Tarkowski rescued a point away at Bournemouth, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored with nearly the final kick of the match eight days later to secure a draw against Manchester United.
