USMNT's Tyler Adams helps Bournemouth stomp Southampton 3-1 as American stands out in midfield once again

U.S. international Tyler Adams and Bournemouth defeated Southampton 3-1 on Saturday, thanks to goals from Dango Ouattara, Ryan Christie, and Marcus Tavernier.Adams, meanwhile, ran the midfield show with a 91 percent passing completion percentage and 69 total touches of the ball over 90 minutes of action.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Adams and Bournemouth have gone on an incredible run since the start of December, losing just one match across all competition in a 15-game stretch. The lone defeat came at the hands of league-leaders Liverpool on Feb. 1, when the Reds defeated them 2-0 in Premier League action.Manager Andoni Iraola has praised the squad of late, including Adams, who has broken out at the flip of the calendar year after suffering a series of injuries through the first few months of the season.The 26-year-old has started seven-straight matches for them now, and he has accumulated three assists during that span. Pulling strings in the center of the park, he appears to be back to his best.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Cherries have scored 12 total goals in their last four Premier League matches combined; including a 5-0 pummeling over Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 thumping of Newcastle in addition to Saturday's result and their loss to Liverpool.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Cherries are back in action on Saturday, Feb. 22 when they take on fellow Premier League side Wolverhampton in domestic action.
