Manchester City beat Bournemouth 2–1 at Etihad Stadium, Manchester, on 23 August 2026 (Premier League, matchday 1). A new manager takes the technical area after ten years of the last one, a tifo covers the stand and a goalkeeper has the afternoon of his life.
26' Evanilson crosses, Tavernier sweeps it in. Bournemouth lead. One move is all it takes. Rayan is involved, the ball is worked out to Evanilson on the right, and his low driven cross is swept home by Tavernier at the back post. The Etihad goes very quiet very quickly.
84' Cherki delivers and Guéhi rises to head City level. Six minutes from time, the substitute swings in an inviting corner and the midfielder rises unmarked to attack it. The Etihad explodes. Bournemouth have held out for eighty-four minutes and it is gone.
90+1' Cherki again — and Gvardiol slots home. The flag goes up, and VAR intervenes. A minute into stoppage time the substitute picks out the left-back inside the area and he finishes from close range. The assistant flags, the Etihad holds its breath, and the replay shows Hill playing him on. The goal stands.
