The “citizens” gave a gift to Liverpool, who led the English championship.
On Saturday, November 2, the match of the tenth round of the English Premier League took place at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth hosted Manchester City.
As usual, Ilya Zabarny is in the starting lineup for the Cherries. And in this game he has to hide the leading scorer of the championship in the person of Erling Haaland.
But, as it turned out, the visiting defense also needed to closely monitor the opposing players, which they failed to do.
Already in the 9th minute, Andoni Iraola’s team took the lead after Antoine Semenio’s accurate shot under the post. And in the middle of the second half, Evanilson doubled the home team’s lead.
A few minutes later, Marcus Tavernier could have made the score less decent, but his shot was caught by the post.
And just eight minutes before the end of regular time, the team from Manchester achieved a goal back through the efforts of Joshko Guardiola.
In the remaining time, Pep Guardiola’s men created several better chances to avoid defeat, but they failed to do so.
Bournemouth won with a score of 2:1 and thus inflicted Manchester City’s first defeat in the English Championship. Zabarny’s team is now eighth, having gained 15 points. And City are two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
