WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

A goal from substitute Riyad Mahrez was enough to earn Manchester City a 1-0 win at AFC Bournemouth and return them to the top of the Premier League.

The decisive moment came 10 minutes into the second half, when David Silva played in Mahrez, who poked the ball under Artur Boruc. 

David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi went closest for City in the first half, before Mahrez struck after coming on for the injured Kevin De Bruyne.

Pep Guardiola’s side had chances to extend their lead, with Boruc saving from Raheem Sterling, Mahrez and Sergio Aguero, whose chip he turned on to the bar.

AFC Bournemouth struggled to threaten, not registering a single shot.

City have 71 points, two ahead of Liverpool, having played a match more. AFC Bournemouth remain 12th on 34 points.
