Bournemouth 0-2 Manchester City - FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED: Jordon Ibe still waiting for his first 90 minutes as £15m transfer comes under scrutiny

Manchester City did what their top four rivals Arsenal and Liverpool failed to do by beating Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, moving ahead of both of them and into second as a result.

Raheem Sterling continued his fine form with the opening goal before Sergio Aguero, who came on for the injured Gabriel Jesus early in the first half, adding a second with 20 minutes remaining.

Sportsmail's SAM CUNNINGHAM reflects on a result that leaves Bournemouth precariously close to the relegation scrap and elevates Pep Guardiola's men to Chelsea's lead chasers.
