Which club earned a 2–1 win over Bournemouth on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Manchester City earned a 2–1 win over Bournemouth on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The fixture was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, with Manchester City hosting Bournemouth. City conceded once but scored twice, turning the match into a one-goal victory and beginning the campaign with three points.

The result was one of the weekend’s closer wins. It differed from Brighton’s 4–0 victory, Arsenal’s 3–0 result and Brentford’s 3–0 result, all of which had larger margins.

Manchester City’s opponent was Bournemouth, while Newcastle United played Liverpool in a separate Sunday fixture that ended 2–2. Keeping those two matches distinct avoids confusing a win with a draw.
