Bournemouth beat Sunderland 2-0 in Sunday's Premier League match, with Marcus Tavernier scoring in the sixth minute and Evanilson adding a second shortly after half-time.

Sunderland defender Kevin Danso was sent off in the 17th minute for hauling down Evanilson as he ran through on goal.

The win was Bournemouth's first in the league this season, in their seventh match, and moves Rose's side up to 15th. Sunderland, on a fourth straight defeat, are 19th.

Rose said he felt relief, adding that the work at the club had been good without producing results, that the team wanted more, and that they remained in a tough situation. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris said his side had been below the level and called the defeat painful.
