Bournemouth striker Evanilson scored with the last touch of the game to rescue a point at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The Cherries were given a free-kick six minutes into stoppage time and, with everybody including the goalkeeper forward, Marcus Tavernier found an unmarked Evanilson at the near post and Bournemouth’s record signing flicked a header into the far corner.
Villa had been the better side and went ahead in the 76th minute when Ross Barkley hooked in Leon Bailey’s header back across goal.
Earlier, John McGinn had a strike ruled out in the 28th minute after a long video assistant referee (VAR) review.
McGinn converted Ollie Watkins’ cutback, but it was ruled that the ball had narrowly rolled out of play for a Bournemouth goal-kick just before Watkins gathered possession.
Despite Villa’s dominance Cherries substitute Evanilson had the final word, scoring for just the second time since he joined Bournemouth from Porto in August for a club record £40.2m fee.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery told BBC Match of the Day that “of course” his side deserved to win.
“It’s painful but we have to accept it,” he added.
