Red-hot Evanilson finding form at the right time
Bournemouth forward Evanilson
Evanilson has scored five goals in all competitions this season

It has been a fortnight like no other for Bournemouth.

Since earning a historic 3-0 victory over seven-time European champions AC Milan earlier this month, the Cherries have not looked back under new manager Marco Rose.

Following that emotional night at the Vitality Stadium that underlined just how far the club has come since being plunged into administration almost 20 years ago, Rose's side have added Premier League giants Manchester United, last season's Europa League winners Aston Villa and one of the league's meanest defences, Leeds United, to their impressive resume this season.

This victory against Leeds was far from vintage, with Bournemouth starting slowly and fortunate not to fall behind after Calvert-Lewin had a goal ruled out for accidental handball.

But after four matches in nine days, this was a run of fixtures focused on building momentum and putting points on the board for a side with no previous experience of balancing European football with the harsh demands of the Premier League.

Few have played a more prominent role in Bournemouth's four consecutive victories than Evanilson, who continued his fine form by making it four goals in as many games with a poacher's finish against Leeds.

The Brazilian has enjoyed mixed fortunes on the south coast since joining Bournemouth from FC Porto in a club-record deal in 2024. However, his goal against Leeds took his total number of goal contributions this term to eight - one more than he managed during the whole of last season.

Three more would see him match the 11 he managed in his impressive debut campaign, and with the Cherries flying, there is every reason to believe he can get there.
