Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola has been sacked this early morning after losing back to back and his replacement has been named
Manchester City carried a wounded and bruised squad to Bournemouth – and lost their first Premier League game of the season.
Bournemouth overcame Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium in their previous home game and secured a draw against Aston Villa last time out. During the middle of the week, City suffered their first loss of the season when they were defeated by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. The team faced a significant number of changes. After suffering their first loss in the league, City have now suffered their second consecutive loss across all competitions.
The return of Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Jeremy Doku to Pep Guardiola’s squad coincided with the recuperation of Savinho, Manu Akanji, and Josko Gvardiol from injuries sustained before the match. On the other hand, John Stones and Ruben Dias were both ruled out and added to the list of injured players.
Due to Antoine Semenyo’s turn and finish in the first half, City was unable to perform up to their potential and fell behind. A late revival and a consolation goal from Josko Gvardiol did not prevent City from leaving the Vitality without the points. Evanilson scored the second goal of the match in the second half.
