  "account": "Manchester City secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in their first Premier League match under manager Enzo Maresca, who made a winning start to his tenure at the Etihad Stadium. Late goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol secured the win for City, following Marcus Tavernier's opening goal for the visitors. With Pep Guardiola's departure, Maresca aimed to replicate the former manager's 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles, and he expressed confidence in doing so with time. Despite City's lackluster performance against Arsenal in their Community Shield match, the late goals from Guehi and Gvardiol provided a glimmer of hope for the new manager and his team.",
  "summary": "MANCHESTER: Manchester City made a winning start to life without Pep Guardiola as late goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory against Bournemouth on Sunday in Enzo Maresca’s first Premier League game as the Spaniard’s replacement.",
