Manchester City Extend Unbeaten Run with Convincing VictoryManchester City Extend Unbeaten Run with Convincing Victory Manchester City maintained their impressive unbeaten start to the season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens dominated proceedings from the outset, with Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in midfield. The Belgian maestro opened the scoring after just 19 minutes with a clinical finish from the edge of the area. Erling Haaland doubled City’s advantage in the 29th minute, leaping high to meet a teasing Riyad Mahrez cross. The Norwegian marksman has now scored 19 goals in his first 12 Premier League appearances. Bournemouth offered little resistance as the hosts continued to pile on the pressure. Phil Foden added a third in the 45th minute with a pinpoint strike from De Bruyne’s assist. The second half followed a similar pattern, with City suffocating Bournemouth’s attempts to create chances. Mahrez capped off the scoring in the 55th minute, curling a sumptuous free-kick into the top corner. The victory extends Manchester City’s unbeaten run to 15 games in all competitions. They remain top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of Arsenal. For Bournemouth, the defeat was a sobering reminder of the gulf in class between the two sides. The Cherries remain in the relegation zone, with their search for a first league win of the season continuing. Manager Pep Guardiola was delighted with his team’s performance: “We played really well today. We were aggressive, we created chances, and we defended well. It was a complete performance.” Man City’s next Premier League fixture sees them travel to Fulham on Saturday, while Bournemouth host Leicester City on the same day.
