00:00For win at the Etihad, if they can do that, they can close the gap on Arsenal at the top of the table to four points.
00:05But if Manchester City do what they've done in all previous encounters at the Etihad and win,
00:11then they will move into second place in the Premier League.
00:14It's a big game, there is so much at stake.
00:17And this would normally in any other season be something that City might, Izzy, look at and think,
00:22was not a comfortable game but one that they would expect to win.
00:25This time around, it's slightly different.
00:27Yeah, Spot On, if you just look at the league position at Bournemouth,
00:30we've spoken at the start of the show about how tremendous they are as a team.
00:33You know, the threats they have on the breaks, the likes of Semenyo, Kruppi in behind,
00:38you know, the midfield functioning to a really high level.
00:40They're such a hard team to beat and I think with Manchester City,
00:43they have to win today in order to stay in touch with Arsenal and go above Bournemouth.
00:47Yeah, it's a big game ahead at the Etihad and it potentially is a game that could decide,
00:53even at this early stage where the title ends up.
00:58Manchester City youth field don't have to win but would be strongly advised to win
01:02if they want to stay in this title race where Arsenal are surging ahead at the top of the table.
01:08With you, your commentators at the Etihad, Alan Smith and Peter Drury.
01:12Kelly, thank you.
01:15What a tease of a game this one is.
01:18A degree of intrigue that history and logic could not possibly have foreseen.
01:23The chirpy cherries onto the turf of the multiple modern champions,
01:27as right now, by a couple of points, they're superiors.
01:33Preconceptions ripped up for sure.
01:35Of course, for Manchester City today, there is a hefty expectation.
01:39They really ought to, but in this moment, this Bournemouth just might.
01:50Pep Guardiola shook it up for the League Cup midweek,
01:53but he reverts now to something like the recent norm.
01:56That, of course, means Donnarumma back in goal.
01:58He's conceded just once in four games for City on this round.
02:02John Stones drops out of last week's back four.
02:05City haven't lost a league game that the returning Nico O'Reilly has started.
02:10It is the first league game that Tajani Rinders hasn't started in the Premier League.
02:14Nico Gonzalez played at Swansea in midweek.
02:18As did Ryan Cherky to prove his readiness for this.
02:20Phil Foden becomes the youngest City player to 200 Premier League games.
02:25And for Erling Haaland, shock horror.
02:27It's 12 days since he scored a goal.
02:29That is a barren run of precisely one game.
02:32The newsworthy name on the bench is Rodri after four weeks in the treatment room.
02:38For Andoni Arayola and Bournemouth, this flying start is especially brilliant
02:42given the near-total reconstruction of their rear guard.
02:46Goalkeeper Georgia Petrovic, as well as three of this back four, are new this season.
02:51Marcos Cenezi, the exception, plays his 100th game for the club today.
02:55Bofode Diakite back in alongside him.
02:57Alex Scott withstands competition from Ryan Christie
03:00to continue his Anglo-American partnership with Tyler Adams.
03:04By statistical coincidence, Tavernier and Semenyo also both reach 100 Bournemouth games today.
03:10David Brooks comes in for Klibert.
03:12Junior Kruppi, three goals in two Premier League starts,
03:16holds his place even though Evan Nielsen is ready to go again.
03:20He naturally has a seat on the bench.
03:23And Alan, your attention is drawn naturally to the centre-forwards.
03:28Yeah, hard not to be really, especially when it comes to this fella.
03:32Is he in the form of his life?
03:33Well, he has set some pretty high standards in the past,
03:36but no doubt he's absolutely flying at the moment.
03:39And I think centre-halves up and down the country and beyond
03:42will be trying to work out the best way to handle him.
03:45You can't get into a physical scrap because there's only one winner.
03:49So we'll soon see what Seneci and Diakite try.
03:53Junior Kruppi seems to have come from nowhere really
03:56to start banging in the goals for Bournemouth.
03:59The one at Leeds must have given him that confidence.
04:02We all need to survive and prosper at this level.
04:05With Evan Nielsen injured the teenager over the last couple of weeks,
04:09a step forward very impressively.
04:12Can we keep it going?
04:13Well, face-to-face today, the Catalan and the Basque,
04:34each of them entitled to claim that he has taken his club
04:37to the highest points of its history.
04:39For Pep, the 10th lead game of his 10th year in charge of City,
04:44he's never before lost three of the first nine.
04:47And only Iraiola has lost just one of the first nine
04:51and none since the season's opening night.
04:59It's a title six-pointer if you want it to be.
05:02City has a matter of course of natural expectation
05:05to remain a prominent presence in Arsenal's rearview mirror.
05:10And as for Bournemouth, well, why not?
05:13Why not?
05:14Nobody is closer to Arsenal than Bournemouth are.
05:17Nobody punches more meatily beyond their weight than Bournemouth do.
05:23They have taken not one single point from this stadium before.
05:26But busting the outdated boundaries of their humble history
05:31is what modern Bournemouth love to do.
05:34So, indeed, why not?
05:38Attacking from the start,
05:40via their left full-back, Truffair.
05:41Lifted towards him by Senezi,
05:45and Truffair has stayed a long way forward
05:46and wins his header.
05:48Donald Rumer had to come and intervene.
05:51He's the menace to this, Semenyo.
05:53And well, Chucky's first task in his second Premier League start.
05:59It's a defensive one.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Put that long ball into the opposition's defence.
06:03It's becoming a trend, isn't it,
06:05from kick-off in the Premier League,
06:07just as set pieces have become more important.
06:10Interesting Semenyo up against Matthias Nunez on his near side.
06:15A win by Tyler Adams,
06:16shifted on here by Tavernier for Brooks.
06:19And Brooks is on the dash here,
06:21and it's touched in by Kruppi,
06:23and there is a flag up.
06:27But this is a compelling Bournemouth start.
06:30You never get the feeling with Bournemouth,
06:32they go anywhere or they play anybody with any kind of fear.
06:35Because they nicked the ball as they did there so often
06:41and so effectively.
06:44But he's just got to hold his run there.
06:48You can see the picture really, Kruppi.
06:52He's only a youngster.
06:54Still got a lot of learning to do at this level.
06:59Barely blame him for his uncontrollable excitement.
07:03So young is he and so thrilling.
07:05Has been his beginning as a Premier League player.
07:09He's had eight valid shots at goal in this league up to now,
07:14and he's scored with four of them.
07:20And he's gone to ground here.
07:26Anthony Taylor is involved.
07:27Yeah, we do seem to stop the play for quite a few injuries
07:32that aren't head injuries.
07:33I don't think Anthony Taylor thought that was,
07:36but it was a painful one for a teenager.
07:38who made his name last year in a promotion season with L'Oreal in the French second division.
07:4522 goals at that level.
07:49And actually a bit like Haaland here this season.
07:53He scored them in twos.
07:53He got six batches of two in the Ligue 2 last season.
07:58And here's Erling Haaland who scored two on each of his last three Premier League appearances at this ground.
08:03And for whom the ball nearly bounced kindly then,
08:08Sinezi got there first.
08:12And here's Gonzalez.
08:14Filling the boots for the time being of Rodri,
08:17who is back in the playing party today.
08:19Filling the boots for the time being of Rodri has shifted into centre-back for City.
08:30And Fogu for O'Reilly coming at left-back.
08:33Haaland.
08:35Cherki.
08:37Fogu, 200 Premier League games so hurriedly.
08:42O'Reilly.
08:43Toku.
08:44Pogu, 200 Premier League games so hurriedly.
08:47Pogu, 200 New Zealand,
08:48Pogu, 200 Premier League games,
08:49Pogu, 200 Premier League games over the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top.
08:53Sinezi had a little bit of a scare in the League Cup at Swansea midweek but
08:59overcame that with relative comfort by the end.
09:06There's a very different eleven though there are kinds of similarity.
09:09Bournemouth have had the rest in midweek, which they'll be pleased about
09:19because they do put so much in to these games in terms of sprints, getting about the pitch.
09:26Doku did play in South Wales, Gonzalez, O'Reilly's on the march, Harland was attacking it and
09:32Truffaut did well to get in front of him. Did well didn't he, Truffaut had to tuck in there,
09:37which all full-backs need to do in those situations.
09:49He's away from the right full-back, he's slotted in very well, as indeed has Diakite,
09:56he missed out for the last game, he was left out in the immediate wake of that chaotic 3-3 game
10:02against Crystal Palace.
10:07Doku, back to Jiménez.
10:18Scott has been in terrific form in these early uplifting routes for Bournemouth,
10:23off the back of course of becoming an under-21 European champion in the summer.
10:27Yeah, kept Ryan Christie out that midfield, which isn't easy over the last few years,
10:34he's been a fixture, Christie.
10:36At previous Premier League meetings on this ground between these teams, City have won them all by an
10:47an adequate score of 31 goals to five, Bournemouth haven't so much as taken the lead inside this stadium.
11:05They had 40 seconds in here, not so, here's Doku, and Foden, it's Phil Foden, it's a very good block, Sanasi.
11:17It's really clever the way Foden picked out some space, but also shrewd by Doku to find his man, that's a lovely ball in.
11:29He was in good form at Aston Villa, very creative.
11:36Foden to fly in the set-piece.
11:45Foden and Haaland's flick, flashed away by Tavernier, and Bernardo Silva, Foden again is scheming,
11:58and he's clearing a possible handball against Tyler Adams, who laughs at the very prospect.
12:04Foden's first...
12:12Always worth an appeal, I suppose.
12:19And the American not guilty, and it's another Foden corner.
12:28Foden again, Haaland again...
12:30And Semenya emerges.
12:32These are the moments that can be dangerous for City.
12:36Look at the journey he's made, and he's played it for Brooks.
12:40Brooks is leant upon by Nunes.
12:42Again, nothing untoward.
13:02Any team's got to be good to play their way out against Bournemouth in these situations.
13:10I haven't managed it.
13:20Too fair.
13:22So ably filled the boots of Milos Kerkhez in this reconstructed Bournemouth backline.
13:32We showed you, didn't we, those two goals Bournemouth got against City this day last year.
13:39Each of which was set up from left back by Milos Kerkhez.
13:42Trofea seems a very similar player in terms of his style.
13:47Loves to rampage forward.
13:53And a fledge football.
13:54He was excelling at Wren this time last year.
14:02And this is Hernandez.
14:04Alone for Milan.
14:14Here's is Balencirezi.
14:16And again, a one contested by Bernardo Silva.
14:19He's on us.
14:33City have a decent run at home.
14:35They've won the last four games here.
14:37Three in the Premier League since Spurs beat them in the 23rd of August.
14:41They've conceded just three goals in five home games.
14:51During this unbeaten run here, Jadon Anthony is the only one to have scored against them for Burnley.
14:57On a day when City themselves got five.
15:00Tocco.
15:04Tocco.
15:06Tocco.
15:12Tocco.
15:14Núñez, from Truffair, and in turn Semenyo.
15:27Chucky, not well by Truffair, nudged on by Semenyo, who's got it back from Kruppi.
15:41That's good enough for City.
15:43Chucky can look forward.
15:44And Haaland's on the dash.
15:48That's a good read by Georgi Petrovic.
15:53City players on the ball are always going to lift their head to see where their set of forward is.
15:58And Haaland invariably is trying to make that run behind.
16:02He's made a couple of runs in the box where he's gone unchecked, actually.
16:06The ball's coming in from out wide.
16:08Premier League and the Champions League this season.
16:15When City have scored, Haaland has scored.
16:19Foden.
16:19Toku.
16:27Toku.
16:29Cherky.
16:30Foden.
16:31He's going to open up for Toku, who's having a wriggle.
16:50Foden.
16:51Foden.
16:52González.
16:53Erling Haaland.
16:55Another sniper, Petrovic.
16:59Nice bit of set of forward play, though, the way he backed out to the far side of the penalty area to find some space.
17:05He's disappointed with the chest control, really.
17:12Could have got it onto his left foot.
17:21Menas.
17:27Amazing going long.
17:28Tavernier is interested.
17:29Foden.
17:30Not in area, really.
17:31González.
17:35A little bit of space ahead of True Fair.
18:05Good.
18:10What else?
18:15Menas, who this weekend last year was playing for the Milan under-23 side.
18:23A small ground in Pisa in front of 900 people.
18:27He's come a long way very quickly.
18:31Bournemouth don't make too many mistakes in the recruitment department.
18:34Interesting to see how he gets on at this level
18:37Treatment at Bournemouth is extraordinary
18:45And the coach is extraordinary too
18:47Every press conference
18:52He's asked about his contract
18:53Will there be a new one
18:54Slip through by Cherkies
18:56He got there before Haaland
18:57The chairman Bill Foley was across last week
19:03The owner
19:04Prompting those questions
19:07To intensify around the conversations
19:10They might or might not have had
19:11Haaland seems distinctly unworried by the whole thing
19:21Coming at it as he must
19:22From a position of extreme strength
19:24Yeah I mean talking the strength
19:32Bournemouth not the
19:33Most powerful
19:34Tall team
19:37In the Premier League
19:38By any
19:38Standards but
19:40So many of them are quick
19:43Mobile
19:44Sharp
19:45That's for Truffaut
19:58It's so nice.
20:10It's unfair, he's asking a bit of Tavernier.
20:14He's lengthened his stride and then stumbled.
20:19Tavernier kept him honest, playing his 100th Bournemouth game today.
20:28Tavernier's head up, as soon as he's safe and sensible.
20:47Tavernier's head up, as soon as he's safe and sensible.
20:51Tavernier's head up.
20:58Tavernier's head up.
21:02Tavernier's head up.
21:07Tavernier's head up.
21:10Kita.
21:11Searching out Semenyo, which is never a bad idea.
21:16He's faced by Nunes and supported by Truffaut.
21:18Semenyo's got himself.
21:22De Nungo Silva stood his ground.
21:24Checkers put away out so easy Adams
21:40Yes, David Brooks steers it out
21:46It's been a confident start from the visitors seen plenty of the ball
22:09He is robotic, he is a machine
22:12Well, it doesn't matter how well you've started as the visiting team when you're up against the big number nine
22:23Who is forever lurking for the main chance
22:27How many times already this season have we seen such a move ending in such a way
22:37It's simple football in many ways
22:44But it's all about the release of the pass
22:47Once he's laid that up, Harland
22:49He thinks, yeah, I'm going to get out of the way now
22:51Cherky full marks
22:52For the vision to head into the center forwards path
22:56After that, it just seemed inevitable, didn't it?
23:00The form that he's in
23:01He doesn't miss many of these
23:04His eyes light up, he knows where this ball's going
23:11Absolutely devastating
23:16From City's number nine
23:18Well, he has only failed to score in the Premier League this season
23:26At Spurs and last week
23:27Against Spurs and last week
23:29At Aston Villa
23:31That is his 25th goal
23:33For club and country
23:35Up to now
23:36Oddly enough, coming into this game
23:38He had
23:39A pretty moderate record against Bournemouth
23:42Only one goal
23:43One goal in 439 playing minutes
23:46It was
23:47Right down at the bottom of his
23:50List of extraordinary statistics
23:53But he has
23:55Freshened that up now
23:56And he was
23:59Looking to play in
24:00Nico O'Reilly
24:03Who
24:04Is suggesting that he was caught by Jimenez
24:07Anthony Taylor thought otherwise
24:09Reaction was that
24:29There's not enough in this
24:30Probably would have been offside anyway
24:33There's not enough in this
24:40Couldn't keep it
24:41Doku's on to it
24:42Chokey
24:47It's a chance to be
24:59To have a seat
25:04Come
25:10It's a commons by Harland's strike
25:18I'll try and get Semenya on the ball more than they have been able to Bournemouth
25:28Manchester City are in a position to control, to manage a game
25:43A few teams better equipped to achieve that
25:52Coming into the month of November, which last year of course was their horror month
25:55Began with defeat at Bournemouth, they led the Premier League coming out of October
26:01But began the month losing down there in Dorset and went on to lose at Brighton against Spurs
26:07And then on December 1st against Liverpool, and it had all gone away from them
26:11November has begun OK here, Nunes
26:19Doku, silver trying something sweet
26:22Goal settled City, they're just clicking into gear, off and back to front, beautifully there
26:32Another silver, getting them on the bike
26:34There's Arles, Nunes
26:40Put up towards silver, led by Senezi
26:44And Cierke
26:46Nunes
26:48Doku
26:50Doku
26:57� Regierung
26:58lol
27:01Doku
27:07Wis
27:09Doku
27:10Doku
27:13Yes.
27:21Munez, incident with the score of Manchester City's last non-Harland Premier League goal.
27:27Some months ago, more than 300 playing minutes since anyone other than Harland scored for City in the Premier League.
27:37Doku.
27:47Jimenez.
28:07Jimenez.
28:13Jimenez.
28:19Jimenez.
28:23Jimenez.
28:27Jimenez.
28:29Jimenez.
28:45Diakite
28:49David Brooks wants an academy boy at Manchester City
28:56Indeed for most of his youth and early adolescence
29:00Semenyo, Orington lad, David Brooks
29:03Truffaire against Nunez and behind for Bournemouth corner
29:10Well they scored direct from the corner didn't they against Nottingham Forest
29:13Last week Tavernier
29:16Wrong side for him this time
29:22It's Alex Scott instead to conjure something and the two hefty centre-halves
29:27They'll bring forward Diakite and Senezi
29:34It's a bite back
29:38Scott's delivery, Donnarumma struggling
29:41Get in by Tyler Adams
29:43And Bournemouth have bitten back
29:48Donnarumma straight away gets to his feet
29:50Client and he was fouled
29:52Some of his defenders agree too
29:56He normally takes charge of those situations
29:58The big fella
30:00But he didn't on this occasion
30:02He's got a bit of a foul
30:07Well Tyler Adams never scored a goal for Leeds
30:11Until now he has never scored a goal for Bournemouth
30:15Doesn't look anything in this at all
30:16He almost mistimes his jump
30:18And mistimes the punch
30:19Gets it all long
30:21Donnarumma
30:22Levin Adams with a tap in normally so dominant the Italian not there though
30:37It's a miscue from the goalkeeper, and it's a clean hit from the American
30:43Bournemouth these days are not a team to disintegrate they do not fade away
30:52Defiant in the face of a deficit
31:00And it is a deficit they have erased yeah, I mean if it was gonna come a goal
31:04I didn't see it coming in that fashion Donnarumma may be a little embarrassed by the part he's played in that
31:11I mean Brooks has just held the arm before Donnarumma went to punch the ball
31:25And in a bit the
31:32Row
31:33Chairman Luigi Donnarumma has had his name taken
31:41Just the fourth goal he has conceded as Manchester City's goalkeeper
31:45Martinelli, Jadon Anthony, Matty Cash last week and now from close range Tyler Adams
31:54With a goal to discomfort Pep Guardiola
31:57His record on this ground against this opponent is perfect
32:03That's liven things up
32:05Is Pep who played Bournemouth perhaps the greatest compliment they've ever received when he said
32:18Last season modern football is the way Bournemouth play
32:24Are playing their modern football again
32:26Jimenez
32:28That's the key take
32:43Inix
32:45No attempt to hide his method we demand more of the players he says most specialists every player has to do everything
32:54That's how it works
32:56It was a very similar corner in style to the one where Tavernier last week scored
33:02Straight off
33:07Right under the goalkeeper's crossbar
33:12First and only shot Portbury collising goal
33:21Brian Chokey
33:22So when's he got in the way? Doku followed up
33:27Doku, Chokey on the twist
33:30In went Foden
33:35Doku again
33:36Ryan Chokey
33:39And Bernardo Silva
33:40He's screaming handball
33:43He's screaming handball
33:45Anthony Taylor's awarding a corner
33:48Proximity
33:49Being the apparent issue
33:53Now this time there was real purpose in the appeals
33:58You can see why
33:59Is that deemed a natural position I would imagine it is
34:12Yeah always having a look
34:15Check it's not incomplete
34:17It comes up off the knee as well
34:19Which
34:21Gives the defender more license to appeal that it wasn't a handful
34:28Alan is exactly what Paul Tierney the VAR is saying
34:31It's come up off his knee
34:32And this will not be a penalty
34:36It will be a Manchester City corner no more
34:39It's the explanation he's offering both captains
34:51Yes
34:57Foden's delivery
34:58Haaland
34:59Doku's in the mix
35:00Truffaut's in the mix
35:02He's lofted up
35:03And away amid chaos
35:05Haaland can't believe it
35:08Once more
35:09He gets to the ball in a bit of space and gets nothing on it
35:13This looks like a pretty nonchalent clearance from Sanezi
35:19Yes
35:20The only one he could come up with
35:23Foden again by Foden
35:24Petrovic did well to get there
35:26Set here for Doku
35:29Good challenge to Akite
35:31Doku's gone back for more
35:35And he's penalised
35:38Look sharp out there though
35:39Doku not just with his dribbling he's passing as well
35:42He delivered a couple of beauties
35:49It's a proper match though this one
35:55Which it hasn't always been
35:58I mentioned the eight Premier League defeats that Bournemouth have suffered here
36:03On those occasions City have scored one twice, two three times, three four times
36:09They've had a five and a six a couple of years ago
36:14But this time it is a fixture
36:17A doubt which nothing can be taken for granted
36:27Doku
36:29Must suffer for the corner
36:30So sharp, his acceleration, just over a couple of yards, he's stunning
36:34But this time it's not far for the corner of town, it's giver back on day
36:44And the interest but this syve, it's still a very happy picture
36:46And the agony has fallen off the boundary of the road
36:47But this time it's still a very happy picture
36:48to be with glist that you can see
36:50The winnings is that you like to do
36:51With the win, the win, the win over the night, five and a few seconds
36:52We have a very happy picture
36:53But this time it's still a very happy picture
36:53The winnings is that you able to see
36:54Tavernier further cleared by Brooks.
37:24It's a beautifully weighted ball, and here goes Erling Haaland, slick, smart, certain, Haaland at the double again.
37:54And City, Trumpley back in front.
37:59Well, he's just unstoppable.
38:03Irrepressible.
38:06Once again, I think it's Turkey that sets him on his way.
38:12No wonder he gets the thanks, but you wonder what Bournemouth can do here.
38:17How do you stop him?
38:20It's Trofeu, actually, that is just a yard or two back.
38:24Keeping him on side.
38:27So cool.
38:29He's got that ability to relax at the vital moments.
38:33Haaland, when he wants to stick it in the net.
38:36Uses some pace to get there first, takes Petrovic out of the game.
38:45Petrovic out of the game.
38:54So cool.
38:56Erling Haaland has now scored Manchester City's last seven Premier League goals.
39:0013 of their 19 overall and he has scored twice in four consecutive home league games
39:09he's leaving Maxime Stev well behind
39:12he'd be pleased about that, the Burnley man
39:15can be a one-man team then, so he's got to score it
39:21Dokura, that's a lovely ball for Nicole O'Reilly
39:25some lazy scampered back
39:32and maybe that's the difference between your centre-forward and your left full-back
39:50well you might recall, it was a central figure when these two men in the cup quarter-final
39:54last year down at Bournemouth, he came on at half-time and was a transformational presence
40:01as City turned that cup tie round
40:04here's Semenyo, Traffers going outside of him, Semenyo's had a pop, and Jonathan has filled it cleanly
40:11He's here to be in the ascent
40:13here we are
40:16Verse 4
40:19this one
40:21year
40:38to hear some applause in the background this is out of respect and commiseration for the
40:55family of guy bradshaw a manchester city supporter and family man who passed away so tragically
41:02young recently by all accounts and this is what his family and friends have said a withenshaw
41:11legend the proper city man clearly loved in these parts and by this club and its supporters
41:18so they see groupie
41:28so he's out of a tight spot oh how smart was that
41:36doku but he's allowed to keep on wriggling and harland is in and petrovic is out
41:45that's just sheer reactions from the keeper i think he thought he'd done enough harland
41:50there but city have been devastating in these situations whenever they get a chance to go
41:57forward something's happening
41:59i mean that's so sharp because harland's right on top of petrovic
42:06they don't all go in
42:11they're taken short
42:16bernardo silva
42:19petrovic in front of diaz
42:21scott
42:40yes
42:42brooks
42:45yes
42:52i think they have bournemouth level
42:55too fair
43:10Oh, it's a problem for Jiménez.
43:22Sort of pounced Foden.
43:32Yes, Haaland, that's a beautiful flick for Turkey.
43:51Some of the stuff, I've seen some City so far, I think has been as good as anything they've delivered this season.
44:01And Semenyo's down for Bournemouth, who will have the option to put it out for him and indeed exercise that option.
44:18Diaz catching interest in the small at the back.
44:22They're so painful, those.
44:27He's as close to indispensable as Bournemouth have.
44:30Only Erling Haaland has scored more Premier League goals this year than Anton Semenyo.
44:38That's a close one thing for Nico O'Reilly.
44:48Jiménez with a vital touch of that near post. Foden's probably getting ready to tap this one in.
45:02To Manchester City to this point, it could comfortably have been more.
45:12But a period to pause.
45:15Well, I wondered if he was in the form of his life at the start.
45:22I think we could probably say he is, the way he's going at the moment.
45:26You just can't see a central defender stopping him.
45:36Peter Crouch is here, right?
45:39Well, Manchester City have always scored against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
45:47Indeed, the only time they've ever failed to score in 24 meetings over all time was a third-tier meeting in February 1999, which finished 0-0 at Dean Court.
45:57Eddie Howard and Richard Hughes were both playing on that day for Bournemouth.
46:01Sean Gosar and Gareth Taylor couldn't achieve then what Erling Haaland has today for City.
46:07Jamie Pollock and Kevin Horlock both sent off.
46:10That's the only time City have failed to score against Bournemouth.
46:13They've got two here with five minutes in the first half to play.
46:16Bournemouth's most potent weapon is not moving especially well.
46:22No, it's one of those that can easily stiffen up. You really want to try and keep it moving if you can.
46:42So this is the 99th game of the Premier League season.
46:44Tomorrow the 100th is the centrepiece of Monday Night Football.
46:47It's Sunderland against Everton, surrounded by conversation and analysis with Dave Jones, Jamie Carragher and special guest Johnny Evans.
46:55Interesting to hear from.
46:57Johnny Evans of Manchester United, Sunderland, West Brom, Leicester and Manchester United again.
47:02107 caps for Northern Ireland.
47:05That's a good one.
47:07Time!
47:08Time!
47:09Time!
47:10Time!
47:11Time!
47:12Time!
47:13Time!
47:14Time!
47:15Time!
47:16Time!
47:17Time!
47:18Time!
47:19Time!
47:20Semenho!
47:21How's he moving now?
47:23Well enough!
47:24Brooks!
47:25What's happened here?
47:28Brooks!
47:29Tavernier, Brooks, Tyler Adams, too fair, this is going in favour of Mata Nunes, he is writhing.
47:59He is looking for it, Tavernier, and just catching Nunes.
48:10That's a solo one for Nunes. Rico Lewis played right back in the League Cup midweek.
48:17Amazing really how he's been converted, didn't play full-back at Wolves, Mata Nunes, but Pep Guardiola saw something in him.
48:25Spends a lot of time, of course, in forward positions, but there are times when he has to defend.
48:30That's started now the last five Premier League games in a row.
48:38Last Bournemouth boss to take a point away from Manchester City at all was one Harry Redknapp in 1989.
48:45Indeed, that's their one and only point taken from this part of Manchester.
48:53An 89th minute penalty for Luther Blissett against Paul Cooper in City's goal.
48:58Gave them a 3-3 draw.
49:0089th, fine, yeah, fine, yeah.
49:02For all Gooners.
49:13Actually, that penalty denied City promotion on the day.
49:16They had to go and get a point at Bradford the next week to go up instead.
49:32And Semenyo perhaps adding to those possession numbers.
49:41Semenyo for Truffert.
49:46Charlie Labrums following up.
49:49They could have been further behind Bournemouth, but certainly not out of this game.
49:53Semenyo, that's a decent ball.
50:11Kupi's welcomed it in.
50:17Souffert.
50:19She got O'Reilly.
50:23Looking to push and run.
50:25Jimenez wasn't having it.
50:38Five minutes to add on.
50:41Entertaining.
50:42First 45, this played at a great tempo.
50:53This has been some of City's best stuff this season.
50:59They do leave narrowly, but it could very easily be a greater margin.
51:09And he has reason to feel good about it.
51:11In an interview this week, he was saying, this season he feels he does have the squad again.
51:21In the last season, largely because of injuries, they didn't quite.
51:24They did have the ball.
51:24In the last season, to have the ball.
51:25In the last season, they took the ball.
51:25They took the ball.
51:26The ball.
51:27It is a bad ball.
51:28They took the ball.
51:28The ball.
51:29The ball happened.
51:29H1N1.
51:30The ball.
51:30This is a bad ball.
51:31Maybe back.
51:31Even back.
51:32Back.
51:33H1N1.
51:33And be backed by Young Jimenez.
51:39Brooks.
51:47And a card for an off-the-ball incident which saw Jimenez floored.
51:53Phil Foden is the offender.
51:55Anthony Tyler had a good view of it.
52:02I think there's a tug of a shirt there.
52:08And Mancunian taking the name of another.
52:25And Mancunian taking the name of another.
52:32To fair.
52:33Tavernier.
52:34Semenyo.
52:42Teokite.
52:46Brooks.
52:47Tavernier Adams.
52:52Semenyo.
52:55To fair.
52:57Cover from Gonzalez.
53:02And then comes Ryan Chirky again.
53:03Ryan Chirky enjoyed a good half for football.
53:06He'll be pleased with it.
53:07His manager will.
53:12For O'Reilly.
53:18Your St 중에 vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis.
53:22I can't really appreciate that.
53:25Ms. Lee.
53:27Because there's the French guy,ess-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis.
53:30Just respect that에는 our representatives to recognize Johnson and Johnson.
53:36And the New York House, as weifying was, we distribute incorush per cent, somen va查-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis-a-vis
53:39two getting to know each other well
53:50Jimenez again
54:05intimately close
54:26sense in the stadium the city folk don't feel they're getting me rather the green at the moment
54:35so
54:44this time it is a
54:48reaction tells its own story
54:54this is very likely the last offensive strike of the football before half time yeah I mean
55:01within shooting distance I think so why not have a go just before half time
55:08this time
55:15this time
55:22this time
55:29this time
55:31this time
55:35this time
55:36this time
55:37this time
55:38this time
55:39this time
55:45this time
55:46this time
55:52this time
55:53this time
55:54this time
55:55this time
55:56this time
55:57Anthony Taylor
55:58denies City the chance to take a corner
56:00little matter
56:01been a super half
56:03and especially for that guy who is entitled to see the funny side of anything he blasted city
56:09into the lead
56:10it is
56:11soon after the quarter hour
56:12tyler adams gave Bournemouth parity again with his first ever goal for the club
56:17Only for Haaland to stick City in front again, as he does.
56:21His numbers ever more ridiculous.
56:24And City might indeed have even more than the two that they've already grabbed.
56:29At half-time at the Etihad, it is Manchester City 2.
