Manchester City’s remarkable 32-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an unexpected halt as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth.
The Cherries struck first with Antoine Semenyo scoring in the 9th minute, converting a cross from Milos Kerkez.
Bournemouth doubled their lead shortly after the hour mark when Evanilson found the net from another Kerkez assist.
Josko Gvardiol then gave City hope with a towering header from Ilkay Gundogan’s cross, narrowing the gap to 2-1 with just eight minutes remaining, but it wasn’t enough to secure a point.
Erling Haaland almost snatched an equalizer but was denied by the post in a tense stoppage-time moment.
This defeat marks their first loss of the season in any competition and drops them two points behind Liverpool, who had just come from behind to defeat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield.
Despite this defeat, Man City’s title race is still alive, especially since Arsenal also suffered a 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
