Rabat – Amine Adli continued his growing influence at AFC Bournemouth, scoring the decisive goal in a dramatic 2–1 Premier League comeback win over Everton on Tuesday night.
Everton looked in control after Iliman Ndiaye tucked away a penalty just before the break, but Bournemouth came out in full force in the second half.
Rayan pulled them level in the 61st minute, and just three minutes later, Adli climbed highest to head home the winner. It was a clinical turnaround that kept Bournemouth’s unbeaten streak alive. Adli’s goal is his third one in his first season with the Cherries.
This win does wonders for Bournemouth’s standing in the Premier League. Adli’s decisive header has officially propelled the team into 9th place, allowing them to leapfrog both Everton and Newcastle in the table. In a season where the battle for the top half is as cutthroat as ever, finding themselves ahead of traditional powerhouses is a huge statement. It’s a massive result for the club’s European ambitions.

From Leverkusen to the Premier League
Adli joined Bournemouth in the summer of 2025 from Bayer Leverkusen, signing a five-year contract reportedly worth around £25 million. The Moroccan international brought a winner’s mentality with him from the Bundesliga.
The 25-year-old won 3 major titles between 2021 and 2025, actively participating in the most glorious period in the club’s history and gaining massive experience on the European stage. He arrived in the Premier League ready for the challenge.
Since arriving, Adli has steadily adapted to the pace and intensity of the Premier League, becoming a creative force and goal-scoring outlet for manager Andoni Iraola.
The win against Everton adds to a growing list of important contributions. Earlier in the season, he scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Liverpool in a 3–2 thriller and has assisted crucial goals in matches such as Bournemouth’s 2–0 victory over Wolves.
What makes Adli stand out is how effortlessly he switches between roles without losing his edge. He brings tactical intelligence that Bournemouth’s attack has been craving. Tuesday’s performance proved once again that whenever the team needs a moment of magic, he can be the one they look to.
