Evanilson capitalises on Trafford error in Bournemouth’s 2-0 win over Leeds
Bournemouth beat Leeds United 2-0 after goalkeeper James Trafford’s costly first-half passing error gave Evanilson the chance to score. The result extended Bournemouth’s winning run to six matches and underlined their rise under Marco Rose, while Leeds were left to reflect on a performance that had begun strongly.
Leeds had looked the sharper side early on and thought Dominic Calvert-Lewin had scored, but the goal was ruled out after the ball struck his arm. Evanilson’s goal was his fifth in six matches; Eli Junior Kroupi later set up Amine Adli for a stoppage-time second. Bournemouth also recorded three consecutive Premier League wins without conceding for the first time, and are now unbeaten in four league meetings with Leeds.
In short
- Trafford’s error helped Bournemouth beat Leeds 2-0.
- Evanilson scored his fifth goal in six matches.
- Bournemouth have won six games in a row.
