After two 500-mile round trips to watch two heavy defeats in a week, Everton fans rightly voiced their frustrations at the final whistle on the south coast.
While Frank Lampard pointed the finger at his fringe players for the midweek Carabao Cup exit, there was no hiding place for the Toffees boss and his squad following the latest Bournemouth nightmare. Tensions came to a head in scenes that are becoming all too familiar for Everton when Alex Iwobi handed his shirt over to a supporter in the away section at the Vitality Stadium.
Iwobi, who has been Everton's standout performer this season, was left visibly upset as he trudged away although suggestions the shirt was thrown back at him appear to be false. Captain Seamus Coleman and Jordan Pickford intervened and exchanged words with fans with an apologetic Lampard pulling them away and taking the brunt of the ire.
