Bournemouth defeated 10-man Sunderland 2-0, with Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson scoring as Kevin Danso was sent off.

Bournemouth defeated Sunderland 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium to claim their first Premier League win of the season. Marcus Tavernier headed in the opening goal in the early stages after Evanilson set him up, following poor defending from Kevin Danso and Omar Alderete.

Sunderland's task became impossible in the 17th minute when Danso was sent off for a straight red card after hauling down Evanilson as the Brazilian striker went through on goal. Evanilson capitalised on the advantage shortly after the restart, collecting a loose back pass from Alderete, rounding goalkeeper Robin Roefs and rolling the ball into an empty net.

Evanilson and Rayan had further chances to extend Bournemouth's lead but Roefs made several saves to limit the damage. Bournemouth's victory moves them to 15th place. Sunderland, now 19th, have not won a league match since August and have lost four consecutive games. They face Lech Poznan in the Europa League on Thursday.
