Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 3-1 at home in the English Premier League. With this win, City moved up to second place in the league.

The first goal came in the 17th minute, following a pass from Ryan Cherki.
In the 25th minute, Taylor Adams scored Bournemouth’s first goal from a corner, marking his debut goal for the club. Haaland responded by scoring again in the 33rd minute, capitalizing on a pass from Cherki. Although Bournemouth made efforts to equalize, City’s defense held strong.

City will face Liverpool next week after their match against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
