"The visitors began brightly, pegging the hosts back in their half for much of the opening exchanges. However, the first real chance of the game fell to the Cherries, with Junior Kroupi dragging an effort wide from just inside the penalty box. Minutes later, the Black Cats deservedly broke the deadlock when a fine pass from Daniel Ballard found Habib Diarra down the right."
"Immediately following the restart, Enzo Le Fee set Diarra clear of the hosts' backline, but the chance was squandered when his low effort beaten away by Petrovic. Tyler Adams then avoided a possible red card for a strong challenge Granit Xhaka before Evanilson, on as a half-time substitute, nodded in Tavernier's cross at the far post to level the score."
"The result keeps the Cherries in eighth, one point behind seventh-placed Brentford, while Sunderland move level on points with Fulham, who sit one place above Regis Le Bris's men in 10th."
