EVERTON supporters held up a banner before kick off saying 'Fight for us' - and their message was not lost on the relegation-haunted players.

It took an aerial bombardment to earn a deserved equaliser in the ninth minute of heart-pounding stoppage time.

But the ends justified the means as Everton battle to avoid their first relegation from the top tier since 1951.

Sean Dyche's side face Bournemouth at home on the final day on Sunday.

The Cherries defeated Everton twice in succession in November in th Premier League and EFL Cup. But James Tarkowski said the dramatic point felt more like a win and that gives them vital momentum to take into Sunday. He said: "It is all about we could be playing anyone next, we don't care.

"One more big week, preparing right and everyone looking after themselves for one big performance. We'll look at the opposition and what they bring and their quality, and how we can hopefully exploit their weaknesses.

"But it is all about us rather than who we are playing against or other games. We are an experienced group and will have everyone ready to go.
