PREMIER LEAGUE : MANCHESTER CITY VS BOURNEMOUTH – 02/11/2025 (PHOTO – ERLING HAALAND SCORES)

WHAT A DREAM NIGHT FOR MAN CITY (AND IN PARTICULAR ERLING HAALAND), AS A PERFECTLY AIMED HEADER WENT STRAIGHT INTO HIS PATH FROM CHERKI AT 17 MINS., WHO, HIMSELF, THEN HEADED IT TO THE GROUND AND RAN WITH IT FROM HIS OWN HALF OF THE PITCH ALL THE WAY UP THE PITCH AT LIGHTING SPEED TO SCORE THE MOST MAGICAL OF GOALS, IN WHAT WAS TO BE THE FIRST PART OF A BRILLIANT BRACE. IT WAS BOURNEMOUTH’S TYLER ADAMS TO SCORE NEXT AT 25 MINS., WITH A CRACKER, (BELOW)

AND THEN BACK TO HAALAND TO SCORE THE 2ND GOAL OF HIS BRACE WITH A BEAUTY AT 33 MINS. WHICH MEANT THAT MAN CITY WERE 2 – 1 UP AT HALF-TIME!  (HAALAND PERFORMS HIS ROBOT CELEBRATION!)

THERE WAS MUCH MORE EXCITEMENT AND DYNAMISM THROUGHOUT, WITH MAN CITY TOTALLING 453 PASSES WITH AN 89% PASS ACCURACY AND HAVING 14 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING ANOTHER STUNNER FROM NICO O’REILLY AT 60 MINS!  (BELOW)

BOURNEMOUTH MADE 365 PASSES, WITH A 91% PASS ACCURACY (HAD 52% POSSESSION) AND 9 SHOTS WITH 5 ON-TARGET, BUT WITH NO FURTHER GOALS ON THIS OCCASION, THE MATCH WENT TO MAN CITY 3 – 1 THUS ELEVATING THEM TO 2ND IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
