Bournemouth achieved a historic win at Vitality Stadium, defeating Manchester City for the first time in the Premier League.

Goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson powered the Cherries to a 2-1 victory, marking their impressive third consecutive unbeaten match after strong showings against Aston Villa and Arsenal.

Bournemouth set an early tone, with Ederson forced into action within the first two minutes, saving shots from Semenyo and Justin Kluivert.

The hosts’ pressure paid off in the ninth minute when Milos Kerkez’s cut-back was turned in by Semenyo.

Bournemouth continued to dominate, and Evanilson doubled the lead in the second half by slotting in another low ball from Kerkez.

City managed a late response with Josko Gvardiol’s header, but Bournemouth held firm to secure the win.

The loss drops City to second place behind Liverpool, while Bournemouth rise to eighth, continuing their impressive form.
