It was a baptism of fire for Marco Rose in his opening six games in charge of Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Three points, 13 goals conceded, and European football added pressure to a busy 2026-27 campaign for his Cherries side.

However, unlike Sunderland, who have struggled to find form with a new European task, Rose's side have now managed to bring their winning form from the Europa League into their domestic games.

Bournemouth midfielder Marcus Tavernier told BBC Radio Solent about the "amazing feeling" in the squad after the 2-1 victory against Ipswich Town.

"It's an amazing feeling for this football club," he said. "In a game where it's backs against the wall in the last 15 minutes, at the start of the season, we would have probably ended that game with a draw, but it just shows you how far we've come in a short time in ways we've changed.

"I don't know what we've changed, but we've changed something and we're finding ways to win football games and that's a great feeling."

Bournemouth have won eight consecutive matches in all competitions for the third time in the club's history (also January 1999 and in April 2013), becoming the second Premier League side to do so this season, after Manchester City between August and October (also eight wins).

Tavernier added: "Every point you get in this league is tough to get. We had to fight [agaimst Ipswich]. Every game is different.

"Sometimes you have more possession, and you enjoy the game a bit more, but it was a lot more physical and our backs were against the wall at the end of the game.

"We had to play a different type of game in that sense, but we've found a way to win a football match and that's the main thing."
