Sub Cherki rescues result for Maresca - player ratings for Man City v Bournemouth
How Man City and Bournemouth players rated following their Premier League match.
Rayan Cherki made his debut for Manchester City, contributing two assists in their late comeback victory over Bournemouth. The result marked Enzo Maresca's first Premier League win as Manchester City manager, while Marco Rose made his managerial debut with Bournemouth.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, City's goalkeeper, could not stop Bournemouth's opening goal but made crucial saves to deny Justin Kluivert and Daniel Jebbison. Rico Lewis, playing as a right-back, had several attempts on goal but lacked overall quality before being substituted. Ruben Dias, Manchester City's new captain, was to blame for the opening goal, failing to head a long ball over the bar.
Marco Rose's debut for Bournemouth saw Antonio Silva, the Portuguese debutant, play well in defense, while James Hill, the experienced Bournemouth defender, kept Haaland at bay. Lewis Cook remained a reliable workhorse in midfield for Bournemouth. Marcus Tavernier, the scorer of Bournemouth's opening goal, narrowly missed a chance to double Bournemouth's lead. Justin Kluivert, another Bournemouth forward, caused trouble for City but was denied by Donnarumma.
