Adams becomes first American to win Guinness Goal of the Month

Bournemouth midfielder claims November award for his spectacular goal from the centre circle against Sunderland

Tyler Adams' outrageous lob for AFC Bournemouth against Sunderland has been voted November 2025’s Guinness Goal of the Month, as he becomes the first American to win the award since it was introduced in 2016/17.

He is also the fourth Bournemouth player to receive the accolade following David Brooks' strike against Everton in January 2025, Jermain Defoe's stunning volley against Crystal Palace in December 2017 and Charlie Daniels' effort against Manchester City in August 2017.

Pouncing on a loose pass inside his own half, Adams surged forward on the counter-attack before noticing Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs retreating and off his line.

The midfielder then showcased a moment of remarkable vision and technique as he struck an extraordinary, arching effort from inside the centre circle.

His strike topped a shortlist of eight November goals following votes from the public and a panel of experts.
