Joško Gvardiol scored Manchester City’s stoppage-time winner in their 2–1 comeback against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth took the lead through Marcus Tavernier in the 26th minute at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City then equalised with six minutes remaining, when Marc Guéhi headed in from a set piece.
Gvardiol completed the comeback in stoppage time. His goal gave Manchester City three points in Enzo Maresca’s first match as the club’s manager after replacing Pep Guardiola.
Rayan Cherki was the creative catalyst for both City goals. The substitute delivered the corner for Guéhi’s equaliser and then supplied the pass that allowed Gvardiol to score the winner.
The victory was historically notable because Bournemouth had never led at the Etihad before, let alone won there. The match ended Bournemouth’s 18-game unbeaten Premier League run, which had lasted until the opening weekend.
