Man City 4 – 0 B’mouth

Manchester City sent out an ominous warning to the rest of the Premier League after brushing aside Bournemouth 4-0 on Saturday.

The Premier League champions produced a blistering first 45 minutes at a sun-drenched Etihad Stadium, going in 3-0 ahead at half-time thanks to goals from Ilkay Gundogan (19), Kevin De Bruyne (31) and Phil Foden (37).

Despite taking their foot off the gas in the second period, however, there was still time for Pep Guardiola’s side to add a fourth late on through Jefferson Lerma’s own goal, with the only surprise of the afternoon being Erling Haaland’s failure to score on his home debut.

As a result, City top the early Premier League table from Arsenal on goal difference as they maintain their 100 per cent start to the season, while Bournemouth are ninth having suffered their first loss of the campaign.
