Evanilson goal ends Bournemouth's wait for first win under Rose
Evanilson's goal and assist gave Bournemouth their first league win under Marco Rose against ten-man Sunderland.
Kevin Danso was sent off in the 17th minute for denying Evanilson a goalscoring opportunity, leaving Sunderland with 10 players. Evanilson then scored from the resulting chance and later provided an assist.
Bournemouth had been waiting for a league win since manager Marco Rose arrived. Sunderland haven't won in the league since August and have lost four games in succession.
Playing in Europe via the Europa League while struggling domestically shows the strain on Sunderland's resources. Sunderland face continued pressure with a possible sale underway and their new majority owner taking day-to-day control.
The result shows the growing gap between the two teams.
