In a dominant performance from Manchester City, they maintained possession and controlled the tempo of the game throughout. Their attacking play was relentless, with Haaland and De Bruyne combining effectively in attack.
Bournemouth's defense was put to the test, with City's midfield controlling the space effectively. However, the Cherries' resistance was ultimately unable to withstand the pressure, as City scored three goals in a span of 10 minutes.
Despite Bournemouth's efforts to score an equalizer, Manchester City held firm at the back, securing the three points that propelled them to second place in the Premier League table.
With this victory, Pep Guardiola's side moved up to second spot with 35 points from 11 matches. They will look to maintain their momentum as they head into their next fixtures.

! Their attacking midfield duo of Haaland and De Bruyne is unstoppable 
! I was on the edge of my seat when they scored those three goals in a row, it was like a dream come true 
! Bournemouth put up a good fight, but City's control over the game was just too much 
. Pep Guardiola's tactics are always spot on and his players are executing them flawlessly 
. I'm loving this season so far and I think Manchester City will keep pushing for that title 
! #ManchesterCity #ErlingHaaland #PepGuardiola
! Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are like a deadly combo on the pitch, always causing trouble for opposing teams' defenses 
. I'm not surprised they're up to second place in the league table, they've been playing some of the best football I've seen all season. Bournemouth put up a good fight but just couldn't match City's intensity and skill 
Pep's tactics are pure GENIUS 
. Meanwhile, Bournemouth can't even keep up 
... Guess that's what happens when you're not the team with the best squad 
! 
They played such a solid game and Erling Haaland is on FIRE 
! It's going to be a super intense season, but I'm loving every minute of it 
. Plus, who doesn't love watching Erling Haaland score goals for fun 
bournemouth had some good chances but man city just couldn't be stopped 
!
Can't they just go back to the simple layout we had before? I swear, every time I try to scroll through the comments section, my eyes get glazed over from all the unnecessary clutter 
. The fact that they won just because Erling Haaland scored twice is kinda boring, you know? Where's the challenge in that? A team shouldn't be able to win without giving their opponents some real heart-stopping moments 
. Manchester City might've won this one, but I still don't think they're the best team in the league... yet 
️
! Bournemouth's defense was NO MATCH for the Citizens' attacking might 
. Pep Guardiola's masterclass again, keeping him cool under pressure 
. Manchester City is BACK in business, second place isn't far behind now! 
They're playing so sick right now! Erling Haaland is literally unstoppable 
. And can we talk about Kyle Walker's defense? He's been solid all season 
and its so hard to use at first lol i was watching the game and erling haaland's goals were amazing 
. And De Bruyne's vision in midfield is straight fire 
. Guess that's just how it goes sometimes when your team isn't quite on the same level as Manchester City 
and I'm totally fascinated by Haaland's skills! He's like a superhero on the field, scoring those two goals in such a short time 
. And De Bruyne's passing is so cool, it's like he's doing magic 
. But what I love most about Manchester City is how they work together as a team 
. And Bournemouth just couldn't keep up 
. Now that Man City is in second place, I'm totally rooting for them to win the league
