AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester City

Bournemouth weathered late waves of pressure to hold on for a first Premier League victory over Manchester City, with a goal in each half enough for a 2-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium. Iraola’s game plan was executed to perfection by his players, who stayed deep in a low, organized block before bursting forward with speed and power – overloading the flanks, causing Gvardiol and Walker no end of problems. Semenyo got the game going after just nine minutes with a well-taken finish, thanks in part to Kerkez’s assist, allowing the Cherries to sit back and absorb the pressure for the remainder of the first half. The pattern repeated itself in the second half, with Guardiola’s team dominating possession but struggling to test Travers, which would give the hosts enough time to double their lead, this time through Evanilson, with Kerkez again played the key pass. Brooks saw his chance to add another goal denied by the post, bringing the visitors to life. They would hit goal for the first time with an effort on 80 minutes, scoring two minutes later thanks to Gvardiol’s header, but a second time they could not get through, with Haaland denied twice in quick succession from close range deep into stoppage time . Despite almost identical expected goals results (1.8 to 1.77 for the visitors), it is Iraola’s team that will record victory ahead of a trip to Brentford on November 9, while Manchester City will suffer a defeat for the first time this season and will try to come back. to a win against Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday and against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
