Josko Gvardiol scored in the 91st minute as Manchester City completed a dramatic 2-1 comeback against Bournemouth to begin the Enzo Maresca era with victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bournemouth had looked capable of producing an early-season shock after taking the lead and keeping City at bay for much of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home side spent long periods trying to find a way through, but Bournemouth remained organised and continued to protect their advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With time running out, City finally broke through in the 84th minute when Marc Gu\u00e9hi scored to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The equaliser gave City fresh momentum and changed the complexion of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of settling for a draw, the hosts pushed for a second goal and continued to put Bournemouth under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their efforts were rewarded dramatically in the 91st minute when Gvardiol found the back of the net to put Manchester City ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bournemouth were unable to recover from the late blow, allowing City to complete a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The comeback means Maresca begins his Manchester City reign with three points, while Bournemouth will be left to reflect on a match they had been minutes away from winning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
