Everton allowed a two-goal advantage to slip in the last three minutes of the game in losing 3-2 to Bournemouth at home as their losing start to the season reached three matches.
It was the Blues who created the contest's first chance on eight minutes, Tim Iroegbunam - who has made such an impressive start to his Toffees career - collecting a loose ball and driving upfield. The midfielder played in Jack Harrison wide right whose low drive across the six-yard box was just missed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the back post.
The hosts' dominance should have been rewarded just past the half-hour mark as McNeil's corner picked out Calvert-Lewin at the back post. The striker headed across goal for James Tarkowski to nod into the path of Ndiaye, only for the Senegalese to thump a volley straight at Bournemouth debutant Kepa from eight yards out.
The half-time whistle came with no breakthrough but plenty of appreciation from Evertonians for a display so far full of attacking intent and neat passages of play from Dyche's men.
The Blues picked up where they left off following the restart, with Ndiaye keeping Goodison entertained with his carrying ability as he glided down the left-hand side and won a free-kick which eventually produced a deserved opener on 50 minutes. Bournemouth managed to clear at the first time of asking but when McNeil fed Harrison, the winger whipped in a delicious cross for Calvert-Lewin to head into the path of Keane, who once again showed his fine finishing ability with a pinpoint shot into the bottom left-hand corner.
Bournemouth could not escape the pressure moments later, though, that man McNeil showing his vision once more to caress a pass into the feet of Calvert-Lewin who lifted the ball over Kepa from close range.
There was a nervy finish when Bournemouth managed to reduce the deficit with three minutes remaining, Dango Ouattara sending in a low cross from the left for Antoine Semenyo to tap home. And, somehow, it was 2-2 when another cross, this time from Luis Sinisterra, was headed in by captain Lewis Cook.
Everton looked like they had been shell-shocked, and after Pickford made a crucial save, Goodison was left shocked when Bournemouth found a winner in the fifth minute of added time through Sinisterra.
