London, Feb 28 (.) Evanilson came off the bench to help Bournemouth extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight games as they held Sunderland to a draw at Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
Eliezer Mayenda opened the scoring for Sunderland in the 18th minute when he bundled in from close range after Djordje Petrovic parried Habib Diarra’s fierce strike straight into the Spaniard’s path.
Having watched his side miss several opportunities to equalise, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola elected to bring on Evanilson for David Brooks at half-time, according to BBC sport.

The Brazilian injected some quality into the Cherries’ attack that had been missing, and levelled in the 63rd minute.
The goal was followed by a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check for handball, but replays showed Evanilson met Marcus Tavernier’s superb cross with his shoulder and the goal was allowed to stand.
Sunderland thought they had netted an 81st-minute winner through Diarra, but their celebrations were cut short by the offside flag.
The result keeps Bournemouth’s European hopes alive as they remain eighth, while Sunderland move up to 11th after ending a three-game losing streak.
