"Sunderland's fast start was rewarded in the 18th minute when Habib Diarra's shot was only parried by Djordje Petrovic, with Eliezer Mayenda on hand to tuck home the rebound. But Bournemouth improved after going behind, with Marcus Tavernier twice going close to restoring parity in quick succession, only to be met by two fine stops from Robin Roefs."
"Bournemouth made the most of that reprieve when Evanilson, who was brought on at the break to replace David Brooks, turned Tavernier's inviting cross in off the crossbar to restore parity just after the hour, with the goal standing after a VAR check for handball."
"Though Bournemouth may see this as two points dropped in the race for a potential spot in Europe, Iraola's men once again showcased their powers of recovery. Only Aston Villa (19) and Sunderland (16) have gained more points from losing positions than Bournemouth in the Premier League this season (15)."
Sunderland took an early lead through Eliezer Mayenda in the 18th minute after Habib Diarra's shot was parried by Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Bournemouth responded strongly, with Marcus Tavernier creating chances that were denied by Robin Roefs. After the interval, Sunderland nearly extended their advantage when Diarra was played through one-on-one but was stopped by Petrovic. Bournemouth equalized shortly after when substitute Evanilson headed in Marcus Tavernier's cross just past the hour mark. Both teams had late opportunities to win the match, but neither could find a decisive goal, resulting in a 1-1 draw that extended Bournemouth's unbeaten streak.
