The Summer Series returns for the first time since the inaugural event in 2023. It pits four EPL clubs against one another in a “friendly tournament” playing across the United States, giving the clubs a chance to gear up for the upcoming season, which begins in just a few weeks.

Daniel Adu-Adjei made it 3-0 after 70 minutes following a horrible backpass from O’Brien left Pickford in no-man’s land and even though Thierno Barry came on for his Everton debut with Youssef Chermiti backing him up, there was nothing doing for the Blues in terms of saving face.

Bournemouth kicked off their Premier League Summer Series campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Everton at MetLife Stadium. Andoni Iraola's attacking side got the better of David Moyes' error-strewn team, as Philip Billing and Dango Ouattara scored two goals in four minutes during the second half to sink the Toffees.
