Manchester City’s Statement Win Over Bournemouth: Does This Triumph Seal Their Champions League Fate?
Match recap
The visitors actually threatened first, as a rather over-casual moment from Dias allowed Kluivert to enter the box and shoot, though the angle wasn’t the best for the Bournemouth attacker and Ederson dealt with it easily.
City’s first dangerous moment came from Kovacic, his blast from outside the box trickling just wide, and then De Bruyne’s marvelous pass set Nunes up for a one-on-one with Kepa, forcing a brilliant moment from the Bournemouth ‘keeper.
However, there was nothing Kepa could do to save his team in the 14th minute, as his defender backed up slowly and allowed Marmoush plenty of space between the middle of the pitch and their box. The Egyptian eventually took the opportunity and fired a rocket straight into the top corner to send City ahead.
