Man City Triumph 2-1 Over Bournemouth in Maresca's Debut

Manchester City commenced their Premier League season with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, marking Enzo Maresca's debut as head coach following Pep Guardiola's departure. Bournemouth took the lead in the first half with a goal from Marcus Tavernier in the 26th minute.

However, City made a comeback in the final minutes, with Marc Guehi equalizing six minutes before the end and Josko Gvardiol scoring the stoppage-time winner. Guardiola, who won 20 trophies during his tenure, left a significant legacy, and Maresca aims to replicate this success amid major changes at the club, including the departures of several key players.

The only major signing so far has been England midfielder Elliot Anderson, who was unimpressive before leaving the match due to injury. Reports suggest City is set to sign Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille for £86 million.

Maresca's tactical decisions included an unusual starting lineup with six defenders.
