Bournemouth stun Manchester City with 2-1 win, denting City’s title hopes

Bournemouth handed Manchester City a major setback in their Premier League title race, claiming a 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium.

Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring early, capitalizing on a perfect build-up that exposed City’s defense.

The Ghanaian forward was composed, finding space in the box to convert a fine shot that placed the home side in command.

Bournemouth doubled their lead in the 64th minute through Evanilson, further pressuring City, who struggled to respond.

Pep Guardiola’s team did pull one back in the 82nd minute, courtesy of Joško Gvardiol, but the single goal was insufficient to overturn Bournemouth’s advantage.

The defeat is a major setback for City in their title pursuit.
