Rose Off the Mark as Bournemouth Sweep Aside 10-Man Sunderland

Marco Rose finally has his first Premier League win as Bournemouth manager. Goals from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson sealed a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10-man Sunderland at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Tavernier headed in Evanilson's cross after six minutes, and the game turned decisively in the 17th when Sunderland defender Kevin Danso was shown a straight red for hauling down Evanilson as the last man. Evanilson rounded Robin Roefs to double the lead three minutes into the second half — the Brazilian's 100th career goal.

One-sided after the red

Bournemouth dominated from there: 29 shots to Sunderland's three, 65% possession, and a clean sheet. The visitors' only meaningful attacking output was worth a combined 0.07 expected goals. Rose praised his side's patience after a week that began with a 5-1 thrashing at Chelsea.

Sunderland's slide deepens

It is now four straight Premier League defeats for the Black Cats — their longest losing run since December 2015 — and they sit 19th. Regis Le Bris' men must regroup quickly: a Europa League trip to Lech Poznan awaits on Thursday before the domestic pressure resumes.
