Bournemouth cruised to a 3-0 victory over Everton in the opening round of the Premier League Summer Series exhibition tournament at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on Saturday.
Goals from Philip Billing, Dango Outtara and Daniel Adu-Adjei sealed a comfortable win for Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side in a game played in sweltering conditions.
After a low-key first half, Billing fired Bournemouth into the lead in the 55th minute, gliding away from his marker at the edge of the area before unleashing a ferocious shot that soared past Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
England international Pickford was beaten again four minutes later after a move that started when Outtara surged clear down the left flank.
Everton defender Nathan Patterson looked to have covered the danger, but a poor touch permitted Burkina Faso international Outtara to hammer a shot high into the net past Pickford's near post.
Adu-Adjei made it 3-0 to the Cherries in the 69th minute, pouncing on an underhit backpass from Jake O'Brien to coolly complete past Pickford.
