Bournemouth beat Sunderland after Danso’s early dismissal and Evanilson goal

Bournemouth beat Sunderland after Kevin Danso was sent off in the 17th minute for stopping Evanilson from reaching a goalscoring opportunity. Evanilson helped set up Marcus Tavernier’s opener and later scored himself, ending Bournemouth manager Marco Rose’s wait for a Premier League win and deepening Sunderland’s domestic troubles.

Sunderland have not won a league match since August and arrived after their first European away game since 1973, with a demanding schedule stretching their resources. They were sixth last season but are now in the bottom three, while Bournemouth and Sunderland have both found domestic form harder to sustain than their European campaigns. Sunderland’s Robin Roefs was repeatedly called into action as Bournemouth pressed their advantage.
