Manchester City secure a winning start under Enzo Maresca, beating Bournemouth 2-1 after a dramatic second-half fightback. Marcus Tavernier gives Bournemouth the lead in the first half, but late goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol overturn the deficit.
The outlets note that the victory comes as City begin life without Pep Guardiola. One report highlights that Maresca makes changes immediately, including what it describes as a “curious” starting line-up, while other coverage focuses primarily on the match outcome and the timing of the deciding goals. Despite differences in emphasis, all accounts agree on the scoreline, the scorers, and the result turning on late goals after an early setback.
