Manchester City stunned Bournemouth 2-1 at Etihad Stadium in their Premier League opener, thanks to a dramatic turnaround in stoppage time. Enzo Maresca's side bounced back from a disappointing Community Shield defeat, claiming victory in the Italian's first game in charge since succeeding Pep Guardiola. Bournemouth took an early lead through Marcus Tavernier in the 26th minute, giving new boss Marco Rose a dream start.
However, Erling Haaland and Marc Guehi both missed crucial chances. Guehi equalised with a header in the final minutes of normal time, and Josko Gvardiol scored the winning goal in added time, initially deemed offside but later deemed onside by VAR. The victory saw City avoid a nightmare start and face Crystal Palace away next, while Bournemouth will host Everton.
