Ipswich vs. Bournemouth: Evanilson makes history after shocking goalkeeper error
Watch: Evanilson creates Bournemouth history after shocking goalkeeper error

Evanilson etched his name into the Bournemouth history books by opening the scoring in Sunday's Premier League clash with Ipswich Town.

The Brazil international came into the Portman Road battle in hot goalscoring form, having netted in four top-flight games in succession.

However, Evanilson was gifted one of the easiest goals he will ever score in English football against Ipswich, thanks to a shocking mistake from Tractor Boys goalkeeper Christian Walton.

Under pressure from Evanilson, Walton attempted to drag the ball away from the Bournemouth striker rather than clearing his lines, but he was robbed of possession by the South American.

Evanilson evaded Walton's desperate sprawling grasp and slotted the ball into an empty net, thus becoming the first Bournemouth player in history to score in five straight Premier League games.

The 27-year-old's scoring sequence began on October 10, when he netted the Cherries' consolation goal in their 5-1 hammering at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Evanilson then found the net in each of his three remaining Premier League games in October, helping to propel Bournemouth to victory against Sunderland, Manchester United and Leeds United.

The Brazilian failed to score in any of his first five league appearances of the campaign, but he has now moved onto nine direct involvements from his first 10 games, having also chalked up four assists.

Evanilson has also registered three goal contributions from four Europa League games - two of his own and one assist - while managing 12 in total across 14 outings in all tournaments.

Following the South American's early opener, Bournemouth doubled their lead on the stroke of half time through a Leif Davis own goal, putting Marco Rose's men on the verge of a fourth successive Premier League victory.
