USMNT's Tyler Adams stars, former D.C. United prospect Matai Akinmboni makes bench in Bournemouth's FA Cup rout of West Brom

<p>U.S. international Tyler Adams made his presence felt in Bournemouth's 5-1 rout over Championship side West Brom in the third round of the FA Cup.</p><p>The defensive midfielder had five tackles, three clearances, and made 90.2 percent of his passes - including 62 completed and one key pass. Bournemouth appeared to be on the end of a cupset from West Brom, as the second division side scored the first goal, courtesy of Caleb Taylor in the 14th minute. Then <em>the Cherries</em> got going. Justin Kluivert tied the game in the 27th minute and Andoni Iraola's side never looked back.</p><p>Dango Ouattara had a brace while Antoine Semenyo and Daniel Jebbison rounded out the scoring. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-cm/lists/scouting-matai-akinmboni-dc-united-bournemouthcenter-back-with-usmnt-star-potential-premier-league-mls/blta9d2c6fc70a48f08" target="_self">Highly-regarded U.S. youth prospect Matai Akinmboni</a>, formerly of MLS side D.C. United, made the bench for Bournemouth.<br></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Adams' uptick in form selects he will likely earn a spot when the USMNT's A-team convenes for the upcoming Nations League finals in March. That would be a significant boost for Mauricio Pochettino, as Adams is one of the best defensive midfielders in soccer when he is healthy.</p><p>For Akinmboni, he might not have made his debut, but his inclusion on the matchday squad suggests he might be utilized way earlier than what was expected for the 18-year-old following his arrival from MLS.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The last time Adams made a USMNT appearance was at the Copa America, where the Americans bowed out in the Group Stage. He has since missed time due to injury.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Adams and Bournemouth are quickly back in action in the Premier League as they take on Chelsea, a side he was linked with prior to joining <em>the Cherries. </em>It will be interesting to see if Akinmboni makes the bench again or potentially plays in that match. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR BOURNEMOUTH?
