The champions’ 32-game unbeaten Premier League run was ended by the Cherries.Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City “couldn’t handle” Bournemouth as his injury-hit side lost 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium to see their unbeaten run in the Premier League ended after 32 games.
Of particular concern will have been the ease with which Bournemouth’s attack, led by the excellent Semenyo and Justin Kluivert, tormented Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji, neither of whom were at full fitness. The champions were also without Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, fit enough only for the bench, and at times were overrun. Milos Kerkez made the opening goal, dashing round the outside of Phil Foden on the left and cutting it back centrally for Semenyo to turn Gvardiol and angle a finish wide of Ederson.
“Manu and Nathan were not in good condition. Until the last moment I didn’t know Nathan could play, he said I want to try.
