Sunderland fell to a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth in perhaps the Black Cats' worst performance under Regis Le Bris.

Marcus Tavernier opened the scoring in the opening exchanges, with Kevin Danso dismissed for Sunderland after some awful defending from himself and Omar Alderete, leaving the Black Cats with a mountain to climb after just 16 minutes.

Just moments into the second 45', it was game over, with Evanilson doubling Bournemouth's lead and setting Sunderland on course for their fourth consecutive Premier League loss.

Now, Le Bris must face the music for an abject performance, of which is nothing like the Sunderland side who finished seventh in the Premier League back in May.
