A goalkeeper error led to the opening goal
Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford attempted a pass from the back in the 31st minute, but Justin Kluivert intercepted it. Kluivert immediately found Evanilson, who finished the chance before the defence could recover.
The goal extended Evanilson’s scoring run to four consecutive matches. It also gave Bournemouth control of the score without requiring a long spell of pressure.
Leeds created little threat on target
Leeds stayed within one goal for most of the contest but struggled to test the goalkeeper. Bournemouth finished with a 5-1 advantage in shots on target and protected the central area when the visitors pushed forward.
The defeat left Leeds without a win in five matches. Their possession did not produce enough clear chances to overturn the error that had given Bournemouth the lead.
Adli sealed the victory in stoppage time
In the 90+4th minute, Eli Junior Kroupi released Adli with a pass through an opponent’s legs. Adli completed the move to remove the final uncertainty and make the score 2-0.
The goal came after Bournemouth had continued to leave a forward option available rather than defending exclusively around their own penalty area.
Bournemouth’s defensive run reached six matches
The victory was Bournemouth’s sixth in a row without conceding in all competitions. It also made them the first side in the club’s history to win three consecutive Premier League matches while keeping a clean sheet in each one.
Those numbers combine attacking efficiency with a stable defence. Leeds had only one effort on target, while Bournemouth converted the two moments that defined the match.
