Bournemouth 2-0 Leeds: Cherries punish James Trafford horror error to make it six wins on the spin
Report and free match highlights as brilliant Bournemouth make it six wins in a row without conceding in all competitions; James Trafford's horrendous error sent Bournemouth on their way
Saturday 31 October 2026 17:58, UK
Bournemouth made it six wins on the spin in all competitions without conceding as they beat toothless Leeds 2-0.
Marco Rose's side have now beaten Sturm Graz, Sunderland, AC Milan, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Leeds without conceding in an extraordinary run of results.
They were given a helping hand by Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford, whose Halloween horror show gifted Bournemouth the lead as Evanilson capitalised on a hapless pass out from the back.
The response from Leeds never came as they mustered just one shot on target from their 10 attempts on goal to a backdrop of a lowly 0.61 worth of expected goals. They have now scored just twice in their last five Premier League games.
The visitors had been the better team before falling behind but could not prevent their winless run stretching to five top-flight games. Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was denied a goal on his 50th appearance for the club after his 11th-minute finish was ruled out for a handball spotted by VAR.

Bournemouth wrapped up the points in injury-time when Junior Eli Kroupi provided a wondrous assist, that included a nutmeg, to provide Amine Adli with the second goal.
Trafford's moment of madness costs Leeds dearly
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
Football can be a cruel game, especially for goalkeepers.
Leeds were the better side against Bournemouth up until the first goal. They had started brightly, looked comfortable and were asking questions of the Cherries. Then came the moment that changed everything.
Trafford's headloss in possession, gifting the ball straight to Justin Kluivert, was an invitation Bournemouth simply could not refuse. Leeds were then chasing a game they had been controlling.
The psychological damage was just as significant as the scoreboard. Leeds never really recovered, their confidence drained by a moment of self-inflicted punishment. Bournemouth had been handed the perfect platform and made sure they took full advantage.
Trafford has earned rave reviews since joining Leeds and there is plenty to admire about his potential. But this was a timely reminder that the England international is far from the finished article.
Brilliant Bournemouth on the rise
- Bournemouth have won three consecutive Premier League games without conceding for the very first time.
- Evanilson registered his eighth Premier League goal involvement of the season (4 goals, 4 assists), with only Erling Haaland (9) having more; it's already more goal involvements than he managed in 36 appearances last term (6 goals, 1 assist).
- Evanilson has now scored in four straight Premier League games, his longest such streak in the competition.
- Evanilson is the first Brazilian player to score a Premier League goal on Halloween since Raphinha did so for Leeds United against Norwich City in 2021 - the only other Brazilians to do so are Ramires and Philippe Coutinho, both on Halloween 2015.
- Justin Kluivert has assisted in back-to-back Premier League games, having not picked up a single assist in his previous 32 league outings - it's the first time he's had goal involvements in back-to-back league matches since March 2025 (v Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur).
