Which team did Manchester City come from behind to beat 2–1 on 23 August 2026?

Manchester City came from behind to beat AFC Bournemouth 2–1 on 23 August 2026.

Bournemouth took the lead through Marcus Tavernier in the 26th minute at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City then scored twice late in the match to begin new manager Enzo Maresca’s Premier League reign with a victory.

Marc Guéhi equalised with a header, and Joško Gvardiol scored the stoppage-time winner. Substitute Rayan Cherki assisted both City goals, creating an immediate impact from the bench.

The result ended Bournemouth’s run of 18 Premier League matches without defeat. It was also notable because Bournemouth had never previously led at the Etihad, making their near-upset especially significant even though City ultimately recovered.
