USMNT captain Tyler Adams comes on as substitute to help Bournemouth see out upset of Manchester City

Tyler Adams, the U.S. men's national team's 2022 World Cup captain, played a role in helping Bournemouth secure a 2-1 upset over Manchester City. The 25-year-old midfielder entered the fray for Bournemouth in the 66th minute of Saturday's clash with the defending Premier League champions. Adams was asked to help hold down the fort against a highly-favored City side, which he did as the Cherries emerged with the win.

Bournemouth seized the lead early on thanks to a goal from Antoine Semenyo in the ninth minute, while Evanilson's 64th-minute finish would ultimately prove to be the match-winner. That's because City made it interesting late on a goal from Josko Gvardiol in the 82nd minute, but Adams and Co. did just enough to see out the match and earn the three points.

Adams completed six of his seven passes, created one chance, won two duels and earned a yellow card for a late challenge on Jeremy Doku.

With the appearance, Adams continued his comeback after spending much of the last year-and-a-half sidelined with injury. After earning a nine-minute cameo against Aston Villa last weekend, Adams' 24-minute runout on Saturday was his second of the season as he looks to push his way into Andoni Iraola's plans now that he's finally fit again. battling injuries.

He'll also look to build himself back in time for November's USMNT camp, too, as Adams could be called in by U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino for his first appearance under the new coach.

Adams was limited to just 118 minutes across three Premier League appearances due to his injury issues. In total, he dressed for the Cherries just four times in his debut season for the club.

Ahead of the looming international break, Bournemouth will play one more Premier League match as they visit Brentford on Nov. 9.
