Eliezer Mayenda volleyed the Blacks Cats into an early lead at Vitality Stadium with his first goal since the opening weekend of the season."
"But the visitors were denied a first top-flight away victory since October when Evanilson converted Marcus Tavernier's cross with his shoulder 27 minutes from time. Bournemouth, who remain two points above Sunderland in the table, created little after levelling as their European aspirations suffered a setback."
"Referee Jarred Gillett had a busy afternoon in Dorset, including denying Sunderland an early penalty and opting not to dismiss Cherries midfielder Tyler Adams for a strong challenge on Granit Xhaka."
