Sunderland lost 2-0 to Bournemouth and defender Kevin Danso was sent off in the first half.

Sunderland lost 2-0 to Bournemouth in a match that proved disastrous for the visitors. Danso was sent off in the 17th minute after fouling Evanilson, denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. The dismissal was confirmed by VAR. Marcus Tavernier had given Bournemouth a 6th-minute lead with a header after Evanilson set him up from a long ball down the wing.

With Sunderland reduced to ten men, Evanilson doubled Bournemouth's lead three minutes into the second half after capitalising on a defensive error. The Brazilian midfielder was influential throughout, scoring one and assisting another. Sunderland's defending was poor throughout the opening phase of the match.

Danso will miss Sunderland's next weekend fixture against Leeds United due to the suspension. However, the Sunderland Echo reports that despite the red card, Danso remains available to play for Sunderland in Europa League matches. Following the match, Danso posted a two-word apology to supporters on Instagram.
