U.S. captain Tyler Adams scores long-range goal for Bournemouth in Premier League

SUNDERLAND, England (AP) — U.S. captain Tyler Adams scored one of the best goals in the Premier League this season when he lobbed the goalkeeper from around 50 yards (meters) for Bournemouth on Saturday.

In the 15th minute of a match at Sunderland, Adams collected a loose ball inside his own half, crossed the halfway line and then sent in a shot from the edge of the center circle. It flew over the head of goalkeeper Robin Roefs, who tumbled into the net after scrambling backward, and into the goal at a rainy Stadium of Light.

The goal increased Bournemouth’s lead to 2-0.

It was Adams’ second goal in his last four games, with the midfielder having also netted at Manchester City on Nov. 2.

He hadn’t previously scored for Bournemouth, which he joined in August 2023, or in his one other season in the Premier League — at Leeds in the 2022-23 campaign.
