The Story in 60 Seconds

Bournemouth set a new club record Premier League attendance of 12,004 at the Vitality Stadium during Sunday's 2-0 victory against Sunderland. The increased crowd followed the opening of the stadium's north-west and south-east corners, which debuted days earlier during a 3-0 Europa League win over Sturm Graz as part of an ongoing ground revitalisation project.

On the pitch, Bournemouth defeated 10-man Sunderland after Kevin Danso was sent off in the 17th minute. Marcus Tavernier scored the opening goal from an Evanilson assist, before Evanilson netted the second goal shortly after halftime to reach a career milestone of 100 goals.
