Marcus Tavernier launches a shot at goal which is too hot for Sunderland stopper Robin Roefs. He spills the ball straight to Alex Scott in what looks set to be almost a complete copy of Sunderland's goal. But Roefs is up quickly, springing forward and spreading his body to save Scott's rebound with his leg. Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland Bournemouth's latest spell on the ball ends with an offside. Sunderland look pretty happy. Outside of that very necessary Geertruida interception Bournemouth haven't offered much since going behind. Granit Xhaka takes a wide free-kick for Sunderland which is too close to the keeper. Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland Inches away! Great move from Bournemouth as Alex Jimenez, from the right, fizzes in a brilliant, low cross. It looks as if David Brooks is about to tap the pass in at the back post but Lutsharel Geertruida slides to just poke the ball beyond the Welshman. Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland Steve Bruce Ex Manchester United defender on BBC Radio 5 Live I know you're [Rob Green] in this goalkeeper's union, but come on! You expect Petrovic to keep a hold of it. Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland One of the best. It was Ballard who played in Habib Diarra. Now then, Bournemouth are responding with a spell of dangerous possession. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Brilliant ball from Daniel Ballard there leading up to the goal, he is a class centre-back Taylan, London Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland Bournemouth came from behind to beat Everton the other day. It might be harder to repeat the trick this time around though. Sunderland are unbeaten in Premier League games when they've scored the first goal. Bournemouth 0-1 Sunderland Rob Green Former West Ham goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live The problem with this is Bournemouth have not got Evanilson playing. They clip the ball up front and it is only Junior Kroupi upfront. They lose possession and Sunderland comes back to them. Eliezer Mayenda (18 mins) Eliezer Mayenda scores his first Premier League goal since the opening day! He's in the right place at the right time to pull off a simple tap-in after Habib Diarra hits a fierce shot across the face of goal which Djordje Petrovic can only parry straight at the Spaniard. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Hang on, I know I miss stuff, but don't Liverpool already have a manager? Why do they need to pinch Bournemouth's? Click 'Get Involved' to have your say I really like Andoni Iraola, I do think he could do an excellent job as the next Liverpool manager. He has the ability to improve young players, and make them into brilliant players, a bit like Jurgen Klopp did for Liverpool. Nick, Evesham Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Francis Benali Former Southampton defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Vitality Stadium It was well won back from Alex Scott and Junior Kroupi had the time and space to test the goalkeeper, but it was horribly pulled. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Feels like that Sunderland penalty shout is a textbook case of "if the referee had given it it wouldn't be overturned". Anyway, it's a let-off for Bournemouth who are playing some decent keep-ball in Sunderland's final third. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say How is a shove in the box not a penalty, but the exact same offence seconds later given as a free kick? The standard of refereeing has not kept pace with the game in the Premier League Rob, Worthing How that is not a penalty is beyond me. Chelsea got a penalty when Pedro was shoved and that shove wasn't even as strong as this one. The refeering inconsistencies in this league are astounding Archie, Dundee Sigh…. all we want as fans is consistency. Marcus, Kent Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Should score! Awful finish! Granit Xhaka wants a free-kick but the referee waves play on and suddenly Alex Scott has the ball on the edge of the Sunderland box, with a two v one. He plays in Junior Kroupi, inside the box with loads of time. Will it be 1-0? Nope, Kroupi drags his shot horribly wide. A complete mishit. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Bournemouth try taking their corner short, but quickly lose possession. Ah. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Bournemouth are getting on the ball a bit more. Dan Ballard clears an Alex Scott cross behind for a corner. While we wait for it to be taken I just want to go back to Sunderland's early penalty shout. Former Premier League official Darren Cann, in the Match of the Day office today, says if it was given it wouldn't have been overturned by VAR. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland That free-kick is headed behind for a corner, although Granit Xhaka's corner is straight into the side-netting. By the way, Xhaka is starting for Sunderland for the first time since their 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace in January, the Black Cats have lost four of their five Premier League games without him in the starting XI in that time (W1). Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Sunderland are playing the better football. Trai Hume's long throw is headed away and then Hume draws a foul from Alex Scott to win his side a wide free-kick. Bournemouth 0-0 Sunderland Steve Bruce Former Manchester United defender on BBC Radio 5 Live With the success Andoni Iraola has had, it breeds that confidence in everyone. He is in complete control at Bournemouth. What he says, goes. For any manager, that is a breath of fresh air. He will think long and hard, but he has done a wonderful job. The one thing they have got right is recruitment. Last Updated 28th February 2026 at 12: 48 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.

Following their 3-2 victory in November, Sunderland are looking to complete their second league double over Bournemouth, after the 1989-90 second tier campaign. Only Manchester United (10) are on a longer run of unbeaten Premier League matches than Bournemouth (7 – W4 D3). Should they avoid defeat here, it’d be their second eight game unbeaten run in 2025-26, having gone 11 matches winless between these streaks. Only Crystal Palace (4) and Newcastle (4) have had more 0-0 draws than Bournemouth (3) in the Premier League this season, with this their joint-most in a top-flight campaign (also 3 in 2015-16 and 2019-20). Despite this, the Cherries’ Premier League games have seen more goals than any other side this term (88 – F43 A45). Sunderland have lost their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 12 (W4 D5). They last lost more consecutively in December 2015 (5). Sunderland have 36 points in the Premier League this season, and an expected points total of just 27. 2. Only Aston Villa (+17. 2) have overperformed their expected points more than the Black Cats this term (8. 8). Only bottom two sides Burnley (10. 6%) and Wolves (8. 1%) have spent a lower share of their game time in a winning position than Sunderland (16. 8%) in the Premier League this season. Only Crystal Palace (38) have made fewer changes to their starting XI than Sunderland (40) in the Premier League this season, despite only four teams using more different players than the Black Cats (28). Bournemouth’s Junior Kroupi has scored eight goals from just 26 shots in the Premier League this season, the best shot conversion rate of any player with 20+ attempts (31%). Up to and including their 0-0 draw with Man City on New Year’s Day, Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs had the best goals prevented rate in the Premier League (4. 7 – 17 goals conceded from 21. 7 x Go T). Since then he’s conceded almost four more goals than expected (15 goals conceded from 11. 4 x Go T), with only Guglielmo Vicario having a worse rate in that time (4. 1, 18 conceded from 13. 9 x Go T).
