Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Manchester City FC launch into their encounter with AFC Bournemouth.
  • 5' Gabriel Jesus is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AFC Bournemouth so far.
  • 6' A goal from the Spain international David Silva! He fires home on 6 to make it 1-0!
  • 11' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 16' Manchester City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AFC Bournemouth backline.
  • 17' Poor challenge from Lloyd Kelly. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 22' Manchester City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 27' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pep Guardiola might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 32' Diego Rico has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 39' What composure from Gabriel Jesus! The Brazil international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
  • 46' The whistle greets Bernardo Silva as he departs to be replaced by Raheem Sterling.
  • 51' Jack Stacey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Benjamin Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Supporters expect more eagerness from John Stones, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 12 goals in the last 11 games.
  • 66' AFC Bournemouth fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 68' Another substitution for Manchester City FC to replace Ilkay Gundogan by Rodri on 68 minute.
  • 69' Callum Wilson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dominic Solanke at the 69 minute mark.
  • 70' AFC Bournemouth ring the changes. Dan Gosling has done his job and it is now time for Lewis Cook to step up.
  • 75' Colombia international Jefferson Lerma has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 77' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Gabriel Jesus is withdrawn and Riyad Mahrez gets his opportunity.
  • 82' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Bournemouth is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 87' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 88' Against the run of play, David Brooks has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 90' Eric Garcia was booked on 90.
  • 90' Fresh legs for AFC Bournemouth! Sam Surridge comes on to replace Philip Billing.
