📸 Evanilson gets off the mark for Bournemouth with brilliant finish 👏 | OneFootball

Evanilson hasn’t had the easiest start to life at Bournemouth, but he is officially up and running after scoring his first goal for the club against Southampton.

And, what a great goal it was!

The Brazilian forward moved to the Cherries this summer in a £40m deal from Porto, acting as a direct replacement for Dominic Solanke.

He missed a penalty in his new side’s last home game against Chelsea, which could have affected his confidence tonight. However, that is no issue considering his brilliant finish past Aaron Ramsdale in the 17th minute tonight.

A quick free-kick from Marcus Tavernier went over the Saints defence and Evanilson stuck out his foot and guided the ball into the net.

Russell Martin was not happy, claiming the ball was still moving when the free-kick was struck, but everyone connected with Bournemouth was, and then some.

Their club-record signing has started paying off his fee!
