Sunderland (4-4-2)
Jordan Pickford: Enjoyed a routine first half. Was beaten by King but the woodwork saved him and Sunderland. Couldn't do anything about the winner....6

Hide AdDonald Love: Cleared King effort off the line in a steady first half return to the first team given Billy Jones' illness. Not great going forward....6
John O'Shea (C): Nervy opening stages for the defence as Bournemouth won 4 early corners but grew into the game. Cherries looked a threat. They proved it late on.....6
Lamine Kone: Better on his return to the side, with Jason Denayer out injured. Had his hands full with Benik Afobe though. Cherries goal came from nothing...6
Javier Manquillo: Steady game at left-back, Bournemouth were a threat and saw plenty of the ball on the edge of the area but coped well enough.....6

Hide AdSteven Pienaar: Looked way off the pace in the opening stages of the first half. Sunderland midfield stood off the Bournemouth players. No surprise he was subbed early.....4
Didier Ndong: Sunderland's brightest midfielder. Worked hard and looked to create and mix it up with long and short balls. Sunderland a threat when they went direct early... MOM 6
Fabio Borini: Started on the right wing and put a shift in. Not his natural position but played reasonably well on his return, saw a strong effort saved by Boruc start of second half...6
Wahbi Khazri: Bright for Sunderland, dangerous from set pieces. Just frustrating he wasn't playing earlier in the season....6

Hide AdVictor Anichebe: Played up front alongside Defoe, not quite on the same wavelength as each other....5
Jermain Defoe: Strong appeal for a penalty turned down, few half chances. Let Cherries off the hook in 29th minute, should have scored. Created chances second half...6
Subs:
George Honeyman (for Pienaar, 55): An early sub for Pienaar and he did his chances of earning a new deal no harm. An energetic display, saw an effort blocked....6
Subs Not Used: Mannone, Djilobodji, Lescott,Embleton, Januzaj, Gooch.
Booked: Pienaar (47), Borini (75), Khazri (76)
