Bournemouth vs Man City LIVE: Premier League final score and result as Evanilson goal beats champions

Bournemouth see off the late waves of pressure to hold on for a first Premier League victory over Manchester City, with a goal in each half enough for a 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium. Iraola’s game plan was executed to perfection by his players, who remained deep in a low, organised block before springing forward with pace and power - overloading the flanks to cause Gvardiol and Walker no end of troubles. Semenyo got proceedings underway after just nine minutes with a well-taken finish thanks in part to Kerkez’s assist, allowing the Cherries to sit back and absorb pressure for the remainder of the first half. The pattern would repeat itself in the second half, with Guardiola’s team dominating possession but struggling to test Travers, which would give the hosts enough time to double their advantage, this time through Evanilson, with Kerkez again playing the key pass. Brooks saw his opportunity to add another goal denied by the post, which sparked the visitors into life. They would hit the target with an effort for the first time after 80 minutes, and scored two minutes later thanks to Gvardiol’s header, but they could not find a way through a second time, with Haaland denied twice in quick succession from close range deep in stoppage time. Despite almost identical expected goals outputs (1.8 to 1.77 for the visitors), it’s Iraola’s team who get the win ahead of a trip to play Brentford on November 9, while Manchester City suffer defeat for the first time this season and will look to get back to winning ways against Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday, and Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday. That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Bournemouth and Manchester City - we hope you’ve enjoyed it!

FULL-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 2-1 MANCHESTER CITY

FODEN FLASHES IT WIDE! The England international is wriggles into a pocket of space 18 yards from goal and manages to hit a bouncing shot while leaning forward, but he somehow fails to hit the target - much to the relief of Travers!

OFF THE LINE AND OFF THE POST TO KEEP BOURNEMOUTH IN FRONT! Haaland meets Foden’s deep corner at the far post and redirects the ball towards goal from less than five yards out, forcing Travers across his line to make the stop at the last possible second. Unable to scramble it away, the goalkeeper gives the Norway international a second chance but this time he sends it off the base of the woodwork!

The fourth official indicates six minutes will be added to the end of the match for stoppages.

Substitution Marcus Joseph Tavernier Dean Donny Huijsen

Doku cuts inside from the left wing before going down under a challenge from Smith inside the 18-yard box, which prompts the visiting players to appeal for a penalty. The referee makes up his mind immediately though, and denies the claims, allowing play to continue, with the Bournemouth captain eventually hooking the ball out of play for a throw.

Gvardiol looks to hit a shot from distance after receiving Silva’s square pass, but Brooks steps out of his penalty area with enthusiasm to smother the effort and scramble it clear temporarily.

Bournemouth looked confident and in control for the majority of the match despite their lack of possession, but they’ll need to see off one final flurry from Manchester City if they wish to register their first-ever top-flight win against the current Premier League champions. Guardiola’s team will throw everything at the final five minutes in search of an equaliser, with nothing left to lose.
