Thought, since I have access to stats off the bat (these are widely accessible a few hours or so after the game), I could start a thread with key Opta facts for our games, post-match.
Happy to lob them in the individual match threads if Mods want.
Here they are for yesterday:

Here they are for yesterday:
- Everton have now won all six of their competitive home matches against Bournemouth, including all four in the Premier League.
- Kurt Zouma was the 139th different player to score a goal for Everton in the Premier League, only West Ham (147), Tottenham (146) and Newcastle (141) have seen more players net for them in the competition.
- Kurt Zouma’s goal for Everton was his third in the Premier League and his first since November 2017 for Stoke City. All three of his goals have come from headers inside the box.
- Everton’s Lucas Digne has had six goal involvements this season (three goals, three assists), equaling his best ever tally in a top-flight campaign (also six for Roma in 2015-16).
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his fourth Premier League goal of the season for Everton, equaling his best-ever tally in a top-flight league campaign (four in 2017-18).
- After scoring six goals in his first nine Premier League appearances for Everton, Richarlison has scored just three goals in his last 11 games in the competition.
