The goal was voted the Premier League’s November Goal of the Month, as he became the first American to win the award since it was introduced in 2016/17 campaign.
On a rainy afternoon at the Stadium of Light, Adams collected a loose ball inside his the visitors’ half, raced across the halfway line and lobbed a shot from the edge of the center circle, some 47 yards out. The ball flew over the head of goalkeeper Robin Roefs, who stumbled into the net after scrambling backward, and into his net stunned.
It gave Bournemouth a 2-0 lead.
It was Adams’ second goal in his four matches, having found the net at Manchester City on Nov. 2.
