Bournemouth recorded three consecutive Premier League victories without conceding for the first time in their history, beating Leeds United 2-0 on October 31. The result left them seventh in the league.

Evanilson put Bournemouth ahead shortly after the half-hour mark following a loss of possession by James Trafford. Amine Adli came off the bench to add the second in stoppage time, scoring his third goal in four matches.

Leeds had earlier seen a potential opener ruled out. Dominic Calvert-Lewin put the ball in the net in the 11th minute, but the goal was disallowed for handball.

Bournemouth have now won six straight matches without allowing a goal since their 5-1 defeat at Chelsea on October 10. Three of those wins came in the Premier League.

Speaking to BBC Sport afterward, Rose attributed the defensive improvement to attention to detail, greater alertness and the team's commitment to its plan, rather than a single change.

Rose also praised Evanilson's work with and without the ball, saying his contribution had preceded his recent goals. The Brazilian has scored in Bournemouth's last four Premier League matches after going without a goal in their opening five league games.

Bournemouth's next match is away to Sparta Prague in the Europa League.
