Manchester City’s Statement Win Over Bournemouth: Does This Triumph Seal Their Champions League Fate?
In the final minute of the first half, Kepa showed his quality again by making a double save to deny awkward long-range shots from De Bruyne and Gundogan. Bournemouth had the final chance before the break, but Kluivert couldn’t keep his shot from inside the box low enough.
Nunes and De Bruyne threatened again early in the second half, as did Brooks and Semenyo at the other end, and Marmoush had another go from distance, not as accurate as the one in the 14th minute.
But in the 67th minute, things threatened to change significantly when Evanilson got in behind Kovacic and the Croatia international applied a slight pull from behind. It was enough to bring the Bournemouth striker down as the last man in front of Ederson, and referee Thomas Bramall did not hesitate as his hand went to the back pocket to flash out the red card.
