Bournemouth stretched its unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight games by
fighting back to draw 1-1 with Sunderland on Saturday thanks to an equalizer by
substitute Evanilson.
The Brazilian striker converted Marcus Tavernier's cross with his shoulder in
the 63rd minute to cancel out Eliezer Mayenda's opener for Sunderland.
Bournemouth is making a late run for European qualification and is six points
behind Chelsea in fifth place, which could secure a place in the Champions
League.
There are four more games on Saturday, including Liverpool hosting West Ham
before second place Manchester City visits Leeds.
