Everton midfielder Garner delighted with 'massive' 3 points

Everton midfielder James Garner was delighted with his goal in victory over Bournemouth.

It marked Garner's first goal in the Premier League.

He told evertontv: "I'm made up. It's something that we've been needing, this performance and result. It was important for us and the fans, who have been disappointed with our home form - and rightfully so. We have been disappointed, too. We've been so close to winning games on home this season but we've not quite managed it. Today was massive.

"I was breaking through and I had Dom [Calvert-Lewin] and Doucs [Doucoure] on my left... I was spoilt for choice. Maybe I picked the wrong choice! But the ball ended up in the back of the net and I'm happy to get my first goal."

"Getting that first goal early and to carry on creating those chances was massive for us. To finally break that and get three goals at home was important."
