    FT: Bournemouth 1-3 Man City!!! All over at the Vitality! It was a reasonably comfortable win for the away side thanks to Aguero's double and Sterling. They were made to sweat for 20 minutes in the second half after H Wilson's free-kick, but it wasn't enough. City get three points and that's all from us. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!

    This was the pen City didn't get.

    Solanke hits at Ederson!! Comfortable save for him though.
  • 84'
    Sterling is caught offside as he is through on goal. That was very close and the ref didn't let play run out. Sterling hit both posts after everyone had stopped.
  • 83'
    The third goal has knocked the stuffing out of the home side.

    Mahrez feeds Aguero and his effort is blocked.

  • 64'
    It's 1-3!!! Aguero scores!! A Bournemouth thrwo in by Smith is headed by Zinchenko, Aguero gets there ahead of Cook, D Silva then takes over before the Argentine hits home from point blank range! 1-3.
  • 63'
    Seems to be no offside so the food option looks more likely.
  • 62'
    No penalty given to City!!! That's a very strange decision. It looked stonewall. Either there was an offside or something in the build up or Friend was getting food delivered at that moment like the Greek VARs yesterday.
  • 61'
    Lerma steps on his right foot and it looks a clear pen. Kevin Friend is the VAR.
  • 60'
    D Silva goes down wanting a pen after Sterling passes to him. It looks a pen to me, but nothing is given.
  • 60'
    D Silva plays in Sterling and he wants a pen for handball!! It looked to deflect off another defender first though.
  • 57'
    Man C sub: Rodri on for Gundogan.

  • 56'
    Lerma brings down with an awful challenge to stop him just inside Bournemouth's half.
  • 54'
    C Wilson sees his cross cleared and then Fraser's ball in has to be tipped away by Ederson for a corner. Bournemouth are fighting back.
  • 53'
    And then on the counter, De Bruyne and Aguero play a one-two and the Belgian hits wide!
  • 52'
    Great save by Ederson to deny C Wilson after being played in by H Wilson!! He was one on one after a defensive error.
  • 50'
    Good play by City now and Silva is denied by the keeper before Sterling almost directs the ball into the goal. Corner.
  • 49'
    Sterling goes down inside the box after D Silva's pass, but there was nothing there.
  • 48'
    Sterling makes a really poor challenge on H Wilson from behind now. I think the ref needs to give a card or this could get out of hand.
  • 46'
    Bad challenge by Mepham on D Silva's leg and although a foul has been given.
  • 46'
    Welcome back! Bournemouth have just got us underway again!
  • 45'
    HT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City! Half-time in Bournemouth! The hosts started well, but City woke up and took the lead through Aguero. Sterling made it two after Daniels went off injured, but when it seemed like City were in control, H Wilson put one in the top corner to set up an exciting second half. Back in a bit!
  • 45'
    51st minute, free-kick in reaches B Silva and his cross his headed over by Otamendi.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 45'
    What a free-kick by Harry Wilson!!! That was a stunner! Left footed strike over the wall and it goes right in the top corner!!! Off the junction and in! Postage stamp!!!!
  • 45'
    Laporte makes a foul just outside the box and the home side could pull one back here. 47 minutes gone.
  • 45'
    Six added minutes here.
  • 42'
    Sterling doubles City's lead! B Silva receives a cross field pass on this near side, he passes to D Silva near the D who quickly feeds Sterling and he takes a touch before beating Ramsdale. It's an uphill task for the home side now.
  • 41'
    Man C are finally getting some possession after switching off for a few minutes. I think the stoppage for the injury distracted them.
  • 38'
    What a chance for Smith!!! What was Otamendi doing??? H Wilson's cross in is chested down by Otamendi in his own six yard box and Smith blazes it over! That should have been a goal.
  • 37'
    Cook's long throw unexpectedly breaks for Ake and it hits him before going to Ederson. City got lucky there.

    A stretcher has come out for him.
  • 33'
    The right knee seems to be the problem, but it doesn't look good at all. Harry Wilson is coming on.
  • 31'
    Daniels is down injured on this near side after seeing his cross cleared. There was no defender anywhere near him so it must be how he planted his leg on the floor.

    Walker has his name taken for charging into Ake and stepping on his foot. Fully deserved.
  • 8'
    A City effort from outside the area earns another corner.

    What a move by David Silva to a possibly offside Sterling and B Silva's shot is deflected for a corner.

    Sterling gets into the box before the defence stop him getting a shot off and Bournemouth's counter comes to nothing.
  • 4'
    Ake is halted a very poor sliding challenge from Walker! The crowd shout "off, off, off!", but the ref doesn't card him. Should have been a yellow in my opinion.

    Zinchenko has got blood on his lip after Smith caught him with a stray arm and he's been told to get treatment.

    Zinchenki is penalised for a foul near the halfway line.
