Tyler Adams, Evanilson and Rayan came off the bench to rescue Bournemouth in the Europa League with a 3-1 turnaround victory over 10-man Sparta Prague, extending their winning run to seven matches.

Bournemouth continued their red-hot form and now sit top of the league-phase table, having made a dream start to their first European campaign with four wins.

Marco Rose made eight changes from their victory over Leeds last Saturday, but had to call upon his main men after Bournemouth fell behind to Ebrima Singhateh's wonderful solo effort in the first half.

The winger ran from his own half to end Bournemouth's six-game streak without conceding, just five minutes after the visitors' Lewis Cook had missed a penalty, sending his low shot against the inside of the left post after a handball decision.

But within 120 seconds of the restart, the hosts were down to 10 men when centre-back Tobias Guddal picked up a second yellow for needlessly hauling down striker Alvaro Rodriguez.

Rose introduced Adams at the break and he led the turnaround. The midfielder strode onto a loose ball just outside the area and placed a brilliant, first-time shot into the bottom-left corner.

Bournemouth went for the win, bringing on Adrian Truffert, Marcus Tavernier, Evanilson and Rayan. They had to be patient to break down the resilient Czech side before a moment of quality from Evanilson put them ahead.

Ryan Christie found the striker in a crowded penalty box and, with little room to manoeuvre, he shifted the ball onto his right foot before rolling an inch-perfect shot inside the right post for his sixth goal in his last seven matches.

Rayan sealed it in the final minute, sending a low shot from 25 yards into the bottom-right corner as Bournemouth's winning streak continues.

Adams: We turned a page after Chelsea defeat

Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams:

"It doesn't feel that long ago since we lost 5-1 to Chelsea and that stings a little bit, we don't want to feel that ever again. I think we turned a page and we have been a more mature team ever since that; the way that we defend, the way that we take pride in the mentality of making sure we don't give the opposition any opportunity to breathe.

"Everyone is working hard every day in training, guys that aren't playing are working hard, the guys that are playing are working hard so there's a lot of competition but that breeds success. I'm happy with the team's performance."

On Evanilson's form: "He's on fire right now, you see him work on it in training, he does extra work on his finishing every day after training so for him to do it in a game is no surprise.

"He has so much quality, so whenever he gets in and around the box we are confident that he is going to find the back of the net."
