Bournemouth v Sunderland

Bournemouth claim their first Premier League win of the season with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sunderland. It was a routine outing for the Cherries, who could've easily scored more against a hapless Sunderland defence. Tavernier got Bournemouth going after six minutes when Evanilson burst past the Sunderland centre-backs before laying the ball on a plate for his teammate, who nodded home from close range. Sunderland struggled to get a hold on the game and were punished again when Danso was sent off for taking out Evanilson, who was about to run through on goal in the 17th minute. Bournemouth were initially made to work hard for the second, though, after squandering multiple chances, and there remained a growing threat that they would be punished at the other end. It wasn't to be for Sunderland, though, who shot themselves in the foot once again on 48 minutes when Alderete's stray pass allowed Evanilson to round Roefs and slot home a second for the hosts. Bournemouth recorded 4.32 xG in total, compared to the measly 0.07 put up by Sunderland, who failed to record a single shot on target. The hosts now look to a tasty Europa League meeting with AC Milan on Thursday, while Sunderland travel to Lech Poznan in the Conference League on the same day. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!

FULL-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 2-0 SUNDERLAND

Sunderland look set to end this game without recording a single shot on target. Danso's red card certainly didn't help, but the visitors looked miles off it from the opening minute at the Vitality Stadium. It's been a really tough outing for the Black Cats.

It's remarkable Bournemouth have only scored two goals today. They've had so many chances, largely due to the terrible defending by the visitors.

KLUIVERT GOES CLOSE!! Bournemouth still retain hopes of bagging a third before this one's done and are so close to doing so through Kluivert. Once again, it's a simple long ball forward which O'Nien fails to deal with and his header forces Hume into a desperate clearance. The ball falls straight to Kluivert, though, who tries to fire a left-footed volley inside the far corner, but the accuracy isn't quite there, and the ball flies just wide.

There will be SIX minutes of stoppage time at the end of the second half. Still a little longer until Sunderland are put out of their misery...
