Bournemouth led Manchester City at half-time in their 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match.
Manchester City ultimately won the match 2–1 at home on Sunday, 23 August 2026, but Bournemouth had been ahead during the contest before City completed the comeback. The result gave City three points in their opening fixture.
The match was played at the City of Manchester Stadium, also known as the Etihad Stadium. It was one of two matches scheduled for 14:00 BST on the Sunday, alongside Brighton & Hove Albion against Aston Villa.
This question focuses on the match’s state at half-time rather than the final result. Bournemouth therefore remains the correct answer even though Manchester City finished as the winner.
