00:00After their EFL Cup exit midweek, Manchester City were hoping to return to winning ways when they took on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
00:13A sluggish start from the reigning champions had them on the back foot and the home side was there to take full advantage.
00:19The early setback sparked City into life, however the Cherries were more than up to the task on the defensive end.
00:36Despite dominating possession, the visitors couldn't find an equaliser before the break and had to scramble to keep the deficit to just one when the second half kicked off.
00:50But there was nothing Edison could do when Evan Ilson got on the end of this swift counter-attack.
01:05Pep Guardiola's men did receive a lifeline courtesy of their leaping left back.
01:10Erling Haaland had the chance to steal a point for his side in stoppage time, but there would be no City comeback as Bournemouth held on for a monumental 2-1 win.
