  • 88'
    Brooks pulls one back for the Cherries!! Rico sends a lovely pass forward to C Wilson who squares for Brooks who taps in. Game on!
  • 84'
    Great play by Man City and Foden's shot is saved.
  • 81'
    Chance for Bournemouth now after a pass by Brooks is shot off target by Wilson.
  • 78'
    H Wilson dives in the City box when Mahrez was nearby and the ref says no! That was a dive and Lee Mason was fuming: "Look, he's saying it's not so stop whinging. Thank you". Brilliant scenes.

    King goes down now in the City area, but nothing given.
  • 74'
    VAR says no penalty and that's the right decision!
  • 73'
    I think the defender actually wins the ball and Jesus steps on the Bournemouth man.
  • 72'
    Penalty for Man City!! D Silva and Jesus combine and S Cook slides in and a penalty is given. It is actually Jesus who fouls S Cook so it shouldn't be a penalty.

  • 64'
    Chance for the Cherries!!! Stanislas runs down the near side, his cross in is only batted down by Ederson and Gosling's strike is deflected behind.
  • 63'
    Chance for Rico and hits over the goal!
  • 60'
    It was just offside but it was lovely play.
  • 59'
    King scores!!! Stanislas' shot from inside the area is tapped in by King at the back stick and the flag is up! It will be checked and it looks just off,
  • 58'
    City are comfortable here in the second half. Foden looks to find a teammate at the back post with his cross which finds no one.
  • 54'
    Corner for City which was conceded by Kelly.
  • 53'
    Sterling seems to be holding his leg. Let's hope that's nothing serious.
  • 52'
    Mendy crosses into the box and Bournemouth clear. City fairly comfortable.
  • 48'
    The Cherries win a corner which City deal with.
  • 46'

  • 46'
    Second half started!
  • 45'
    Man C double sub: Eric Garcia and Sterling on for Walker and B Silva.
  • 45'
    HT: Man City 2-0 Bournemouth! Half-time at the Etihad, but it's been far from easy for the hosts. D Silva scored a brilliant free-kick after six minutes and Jesus made it two in the 39th minute, but the Cherries had three or four clear chances to score. The best of those was a Stanislas free-kick which was turned onto the post by Ederson and Eddie Howe's men don't deserve to be two down at the break. Back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    Two added minutes.
  • 43'
    Scrap in the Bournemouth box sees Jesus go down after the Cherries don't clear, but nothing is given. Lerma looks to clearly foul Jesus, but the VAR does not intervene.
  • 40'
    There's no way Bournemouth deserve to be 2-0 down here. They have had four or five clear chances at 1-0, but the big clubs get one opportunity and take it.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 37'
    What an opportunity for the Cherries!!! King finds Gosling in the box, he then passes to Solanke who turns and his effort is deflected off Otamendi for a corner. From the corner, Bournemouth head over!
  • 36'
    Foden's cross is hit wide by B Silva!
  • 35'
    Gosling sends another dangerous cross in which Solanke knocks wide.
  • 33'
    What a tremendous save!!!! Stanislas' free-kick is saved onto the post by Ederson and the ball then goes back towards goal, but hits the goalie on the head and it goes out for a corner.
  • 32'
    Brilliant play by Solanke who is brought down by Otamendi 20-25 yards from goal.

  • 6'
    D Silva makes it 1-0 for Man City! That's a brilliant free-kick in off the bar! Over the wall, off the bar and into the goal. Not looking good for Bournemouth already.
  • 5'
    Lerma brings down D Silva just outside the box and it's a free-kick.

    Man City won 1-3 when they beat at Bournemouth back in August.
  • PRVW
    16 degrees and cloudy in Manchester this evening.
  • PRVW
    Bournemouth came from behind to beat Leicester 4-1 last time out. S Cook, Billing, Stanislas and King in, Ake, Brooks, Danjuma and Wilson out.
  • PRVW
    Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho, D Silva, Gundogan and Foden in, Laporte, Garcia, Rodrigo, KDB, Sterling and Mahrez out from City's 0-5 win at Brighton.
  • PRVW
    2nd v 18th. 72pts v 31pts. Bournemouth are three points off safety with three matches left so this is very important for them. Man C are guaranteed a top four place and their successive appeal to CAS last Monday means they are guaranteed Champions League football next season. They have little to play for here this evening, but they've fielded a strong side.
  • PRVW
    Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale (GK); Rico, Kelly, S Cook, Stacey; King, Lerma, Billing, Gosling, Stanislas; Solanke.
  • PRVW
    Man City XI: Ederson (GK); Mendy, Stones, Otamendi, Walker; D Silva, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Foden, Jesus and B Silva.
