Evanilson becomes first Bournemouth player to score in five successive Premier League games
The Brazilian striker capitalized on a Christian Walton error at Ipswich and moved into seventh place on Bournemouth's Premier League scoring list.
A goal against Ipswich Town on November 8 made Evanilson the first Bournemouth player to score in five successive Premier League games. The 27-year-old put the visitors ahead at Portman Road after taking the ball from goalkeeper Christian Walton.
With Evanilson closing in, Walton attempted to move the ball away from him rather than clear it. The striker won possession, escaped the goalkeeper's attempted recovery and finished into the empty net. Leif Davis later scored an own goal just before the interval to double Bournemouth's lead.
Evanilson started the scoring run in a 5-1 loss to Chelsea on October 10, then added goals in victories over Sunderland, Manchester United and Leeds United. He had not scored during his first five league appearances this season, but now has nine goal involvements across 10 games, with four assists included.
The Ipswich goal took him ahead of Junior Stanislas in Bournemouth's Premier League scoring rankings. Now seventh, Evanilson is one goal behind Justin Kluivert and two behind Marcus Tavernier. With 23 goals, Tavernier leads the players currently in Bournemouth's squad.
