Bournemouth claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory against 10-man Sunderland at the Vitality Stadium. The result handed the hosts their first win of the Premier League campaign.
The breakthrough in the bournemouth vs sunderland fixture arrived early. In the sixth minute, Evanilson unselfishly set up Marcus Tavernier, who planted a header past goalkeeper Robin Roefs to open the scoring.

Despite the man advantage, the hosts could not immediately extend their lead before the interval. Roefs made saves to deny efforts from Rayan, while Evanilson missed an opportunity after rounding the goalkeeper, curling his shot over the empty net.
Second Half Seals the Victory
The Cherries doubled their advantage just three minutes into the second half. Capitalizing on an error and a poor backpass from Omar Alderete, Evanilson pounced, patiently rounded Roefs, and slotted a low finish into the corner.
The strike marked Evanilson's third consecutive scoring match in all competitions and represented a career century of goals. Sunderland managed a brief spell in the opposing half late in the game but failed to register a single shot on target. Justin Kluivert missed a late chance in stoppage time before the hosts safely closed out the contest.
