Man City rallies late for 2-1 win over Bournemouth in Maresca’s first Premier League game in charge

winnipegfreepress.com ·

Manchester City secured a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday, marking Enzo Maresca's first game in charge. The Italian manager, Pep Guardiola's assistant during City's 2022-23 treble-winning season, put on a strong performance despite a tough start to his managerial career. City scored twice in the 84th minute, with Josko Gvardiol finding the bottom corner in stoppage time after a video review overturned an initial offside call, and Rayan Cherki setting up both goals.

Maresca celebrated the goal and embraced his players upon its award. The team had started their season with a 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield and faced a difficult challenge against Brighton, who scored four goals in the first 31 minutes and also missed several chances in a 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
