Evanilson is the person of the day at the English Premier League according to Dailysports
Seven matches from the eighth round of the English Premier League were played today, delivering several interesting results. Notable highlights include Manchester United’s long-awaited victory and Leicester’s comeback, but the most surprising outcome came from the match between Bournemouth and Arsenal.
Details: The Gunners suffered a 0-2 defeat, with Bournemouth forward Evanilson playing a key role in his team’s victory. The player was recognized as the standout performer of the day by Dailysports. He was also specifically praised after the match by the team's coach, Andoni Iraola.
In the middle of the first half, the Brazilian striker was close to a one-on-one with the goalkeeper but was stopped by Saliba, who subsequently received a red card. The sending-off had a direct impact on the match, and later, with the score at 1-0, Evanilson earned a penalty that Justin Kluivert converted.
Reminder: The former Porto forward, for whom the Cherries paid 37 million euros, has scored just one goal in seven matches. However, thanks to his contribution to the result and his efforts on the pitch, this transfer can be considered quite successful.
