Manchester City vs Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result and final score

It's wonderful play from City down their right as Silva cuts inside before picking out Alvarez once more. He threads it through to Walker, who only has Kerkez to beat, but a loose touch lets him down as it rolls out of play.

OFF THE POST! Silva checks back twice, but just can't open up space for a shot so he tees up Alvarez for a cross. He clips it into the far post and Haaland heads it down against Kelly which helps it onto the woodwork.

Doku is facing off against Mepham and times his moment perfectly, bursting past the defender with pace before trying to fizz it into the middle. Zabarnyi slides in to block it and Christie helps to clear the danger.

CHANCE! Kovacic cuts out another attempted attack by Bournemouth before weaving his way through midfield. He lays it off to Haaland who picks out Rodri, but he curls his long-range shot well wide of the far post.

Bournemouth have won none of their 18 league games against City (D2 L16), the most any side has ever faced another without winning in English Football League history.

SAVE! Silva has three defenders in front of him, but he squeezes a pass through to Alvarez before continuing his run, drawing Bournemouth players to him. It opens space for Rodri on the edge of the box, but his low shot is held by Radu.

Bournemouth work it quickly upfield, but their final ball into the box is letting them down. Christie's cross is blocked, and when Scott tries to pick out Tavernier, he puts it straight out for a throw-in.

CHANCE! To nobody's surprise, City are dominating the ball, with 83 per cent possession in the first 10 minutes. Their hard work results in a corner which is pulled back to Silva just outside the box, but he fires over the bar.

It's better from Bournemouth's front three here as they rush out to press City's backline. Walker is forced backwards and he has to go all the way back to Ederson with no route forward.

Doku clips it in from the left and Haaland is claiming he's being pushed which knocks his jump off balance. The referee is having none of it and the hosts work it out to Alvarez on the left, but he blazes his effort over the bar.
