AFC Bournemouth proved to be one of the more industrious teams to visit the Etihad this season. They have a brand of football that is easy on the eye and do not simply try to defend the game out. In Wilson and King up top, they provide a handful for almost everyone and City were no exception as they played to their strengths and for a short while had the Blues looking over their shoulders.
Truth be told, Guardiola made a selection of changes from the team that struggled a bit in Lyon, but in the end, his charges had too much for the gallant team from the South Coast, even though they only probably played in first gear for most of the match.
