City lost in the Premier League for the first time in 2024 when we suffered a narrow defeat at the Vitality Stadium.
In an end-to-end encounter, the Cherries picked up all three points with a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson.
PEP: PLAYERS MADE AN INCREDIBLE EFFORT
Bournemouth were almost ahead inside two minutes, but were kept out by a brilliant double save from Ederson.
But the home side struck in the ninth minute before a second shortly after the hour left City running out of time to pull off a comeback.
We were given hope when Josko Gvardiol’s header into the top corner halved the deficit and the Blues pushed forward in search of an equaliser.
Erling Haaland was denied by Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers and then the post and Phil Foden was inches away in the dying seconds.
