If you thought that the recent Bournemouth’s 2-0 home win over Arsenal was just an undeserved and unexpected outcome, what do you have to say tonight? After beating his compatriot Mikel Arteta that night, Andoni Iraola recreated the same magic tonight against another Spaniard, much more decorated, Pep Guardiola.Bournemouth defeated Manchester City 2-1 in an exciting tie that could have ended with many more goals in the back of Ederson’s net. That’s what Iraolaball did to the defending champions, as they just couldn’t get their head around against the inspired Cherries. Milos Kerkez assist 🤝 Antoine Semenyo goalDo you have either of these Bournemouth assets in your #FPL team? 🤫#BOUMCI pic.twitter.com/pMFOWAOH8N— Fantasy Premier League (@OfficialFPL) November 2, 2024 It was obvious straight from the start that one of the EPL’s most offensive-oriented lots was eager to impose its philosophy even against the mighty Citizens. Not being least bit impressed with the rival, the Cherries were very close to scoring in the early stage. Ederson made two back-to-back spectacular saves to parry Semenyo’s and Kluivert’s efforts. However, not even the Brazilian custodian could save his side from conceding after Kerkez crossed it beautifully for Semenyo who made no mistake with his second clear-cut chance of the game. While Haaland and his teammates struggled with creating goal-scoring opportunities, Iraola’s boys were adamant to win it this time, and not to settle with just 1-0. They were awarded for that determination, as Evanilson doubled the lead around the 65th-minute mark.Semenyo made the second goal as well.

The Croatian defender netted again, but without other City’s guardian angels, John Stones, Manchester City were unable to pull off another, third late comeback this season. Haaland was inches away from recreating some of that Stones’ magic, but his two close-range efforts deep into the stoppage ended on the keepers hands and the left post. Foden added anotherr attempt in the dying seconds, but it remained 2-1 on the scoreboard, for the first, historic Bournemouth’s victory over Manchester City.After 18 City’s triumphs and two draws in the last 20 games, the wheels have turned the other way for these two sides. It seems that Andoni Iraola is definitely ready for something else.
