IRISH UNDERAGE STRIKER Tom Cannon made his Premier League debut for Everton in today’s 3-0 defeat away to Bournemouth.
Cannon was introduced for Dwight McNeil with 15 minutes remaining on a day when his personal pride jarred with a miserable afternoon for his side.
Born in Liverpool, Cannon qualifies for Ireland through his grandmother and has represented Ireland at U19 and U20 level.
Having made his senior debut against Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup in midweek, Cannon has now made his Premier League bow against the same opponents. He followed that midweek performance by scoring twice in Everton U21s’ victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
Cannon’s personal pride elided with another wretched performance and result for Everton, with a second three-goal loss to Bournemouth in a week piling pressure on Frank Lampard.
World Cup-bound Jordan Pickford was partially at fault for the Bournemouth opener when the England goalkeeper spilled a Dominic Solanke shot into the path of Marcus Tavernier, who slotted home. Kieffer Moore added a second in the 25th minute, before all three points were wrapped up by substitute Jadon Anthony in the second half.
Bournemouth had gone into the game on a run of four straight league defeats with interim manager Gary O’Neil yet to be awarded a permanent contract, but they took a further step towards safety against the Toffees.
Everton had scored just 11 goals in 14 Premier League matches before the trip to the south coast and were unable to improve on their tally against Bournemouth and they go into the World Cup break with just 14 points.
Irish goalkeeper Mark Travers started for Bournemouth, while Seamus Coleman was introduced as a first-half sub for the injured Vitaly Mykolenko, playing an hour of the game at left-back.

What a hammering! Brilliant stuff!
Tipp by 8 some lad commented earlier.Must be some comeback were in for!!
well done Galway
What went wrong today ?
Can’t blame the ref for that Tipp?
@Peter R: I think you’ll find it was Davy blaming the ref last week not Tipp.
@jane: would ya stop
He took his beating
And nOw Tipp may also.
In fairness
Michael Ryan is one of the best managers out there.
Very likeable
@Peter R: well if that’s Davy taking his beating I wouldn’t like to see him when he’s not.
@jane:
Look
Regarding this game
Maybe Tipp were admiring themselves too much from last weeks game and didn’t give Galway the respect they deserve.
It was men against boys today
@Peter R: looked to me that they didn’t even try today, some of the touches and fumbles were so bad and not even trying to win back lost ball. 4 Tipp management team never moved from the same spot the whole game.
@jane: maybe
But it is only league
Bigger challenges ahead.
Galway wanted it more.
Tipp will be in the final come September
On an aside. A week between semis and final. Bit unfair. Was it not always the 1st Sunday in may??
HT Galway the better team so far,They have alot of wides which could be very costly come the long whistle.
Galway Galway Galwat the great enigma!!!!
Galway should be out of sight. Setting themselves up for a usual second half collapse.
@Kevin Shortall: you might have spoke too soon on that one
@Kevin Shortall: cheers for the insight Kev, maybe you should give Brian Cody a call and tell him your ready to takeover … ;-)
Well done to Galway, some hammering to give Tipp,they will hardly be as bad again expect them now to give Cork a hammering in the first rd,swings and roundabouts.
Congratulations to Tipp on winning the league final.
@Niall Lonergan: deferred coverage???
Tipperary by 8
@lolly ryan: good lad
Ive said it before and ill say it again steven o brien cant hurl
@DerryWanderer14: good lad….us tipp lads must get you down to give us a few sessions so. Those lads picking tipp u16, minor, u21 and senior teams know nothing sure!! Even though you’ve said it before and though you’ll say it again more than likely from that bar stool you’re hurling on!
@mmk: i never said i could hurl i just said steven o brien cant, easily one of the best midfielders in the country with the big ball but his talent is been wasted in with the hurlers
@DerryWanderer14: but he obviously can hurl to a very high level….he has been consistently selected by various mgt for tip teams. Your statement is total crap! Granted he is a fantastic footballer but there’s also many other hurlers on the tipp team who didn’t have a good game today that are fine footballers too but you’re not making that statement about them? O’Briens contributions in the league has been very good v clare, wford, kk, offaly.
Cud the gaa not go to expense of resodding the goalmouths for a league final.So unsightly but only an oul league so who gives a f**k right lads?!
Barely 17k at the Hurling League Final, @gaa need to cop themselves on with ticket prices if it’s outside Dublin…
25€ for Students/OAP’s, same as Adult ticket…?
