Commentary
Bournemouth are first to every second ball and aren't giving Ipswich a moment to breathe. Credit to Marco Rose, who has his side looking well-drilled, and full of energy.
Bournemouth are looking very organised without the ball, keeping their shape and closing down the spaces between the lines. Ipswich are struggling to find a way through, with the visitors looking increasingly comfortable since taking the lead.
Evanilson is in some fine company. He's only the third Bournemouth player to register nine goal involvements in the opening 10 games of a Premier League season, following Callum Wilson in 2018-19 (five goals, four assists) and Antoine Semenyo in 2025-26 (six goals, three assists). The Brazilian has five goals and four assists to his name already.
CLOSE! Bournemouth win a corner and it's a fantastic delivery. Christie gets a flick on it at the near post, sending a looping header towards the far corner, but it drops wide.
After a frantic opening, the game has settled into a more measured rhythm. Both sides are enjoying spells of possession, with the early end-to-end action giving way to a more patient approach.
Since the start of October, Bournemouth have scored more goals in all competitions (21) than any other Premier League side. You can see why, too. The Cherries have attacked Ipswich with real purpose, and look capable of creating chances every time they come forward.
