Josko Gvardiol earned all three points for Manchester City against an inspired Bournemouth with a dramatic late goal to secure a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium to earn Enzo Maresca his first Premier League win in charge of his new club .

Marcus Tavernier gave Bournemouth the lead against in the first match of Marco Rose’s tenure after the Cherries capitalised on some poor defending from City. A long ball was held up and sent over to Evanilson on the right who supplied a perfect cross for Tavernier to fire home.

City continued to push for an equaliser throughout the second half with Maresca calling on substitutes Jack Grealish and Rayan Cherki to change the momentum. Yet it was Marc Guehi who powered home a header to equalise with five minutes of the 90 remaining.

And City were to cause more dramatics with Gvardiol moving swiftly into to meet a low cross and whip home the winning goal. His strike was initially ruled out for offside before a VAR check overturned the decision to give City, and Maresca, a winning start to the season.
