  "summary": "Manchester City marked Enzo Maresca's first Premier League game in charge with a late rally, scoring twice from the 84th minute to grab a 2-1 victory at home to Bournemouth. According to the Associated Press, Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol scored the winner in the first minute of stoppage time, which was initially given offside before being awarded following a video review, after Marc Guehi had equalized with a header from a corner.\n\nThe New Straits Times reported that Marcus Tavernier's first-half goal had put Bournemouth ahead at the Etihad Stadium before City staged a fightback in the final minutes. Marc Guehi headed City's equaliser with six minutes left before Gvardiol stroked in the stoppage-time winner.\n\nEnzo Maresca's winning start to the 2026–27 season was marked by a huge banner reading \"Welcome back Enzo\" held aloft by City fans as the Italian emerged from the tunnel for his first home game as manager. The Associated Press noted that Maresca began his time as Pep Guardiola's replacement with a 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield.",
