WHAT HAPPENED?
U.S. international Tyler Adams is finally back to club action with AFC Bournemouth after spending months in recovery from a back surgery following the 2024 Copa America. The midfielder made a late appearance as an 80th minute substitute and played a small part in the club's surprising 1-1 draw over third-placed Aston Villa.
With Bournemouth staring at a 1-0 defeat, Evanilson would deliver a crucial headed goal at the 90+6 mark of extra time - ensuring the Cherries would split the points at Villa Park.

Adams didn't have much time to make an impression but his return will only boost a Bournemouth side that have turned heads in Andoni Iraola's second season in charge.
The side, expected to be among the bottom half of the table, is currently 10th and have stunned top tier sides like Arsenal and now Aston Villa.
Adams, when healthy, is one of the top ball-winning midfielders in Europe. It will be interesting to see how he is integrated back into the squad as injuries limited him to just three league appearances last season.
Getty Images EntertainmentDID YOU KNOW?
Iraola actually played his final professional season in MLS as a member of the 2016 NYCFC squad, which finished second to the Eastern Conference-leading New York Red Bulls - a team that Adams was on.
While Adams and Iraola didn’t face each other that season — Adams was mainly starring for the Red Bulls' development team — both men have been part of the Hudson River Rivalry. Now, they work together in the Premier League.
WHAT NEXT FOR BOURNEMOUTH?
Adams will hope to see more action when Bournemouth host Manchester City on Nov. 2.
