Premier League: Maresca's 'Perfect Day' as Man City Rallies for Win, Liverpool Grabs Late Equalizer
Josko Gvardiol scored in stoppage time after Marc Guehi equalized, and substitute Rayan Cherki set up both Manchester City goals.
- On Sunday, Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in his first Premier League match, completing an unlikely comeback with two late goals at the Etihad Stadium.
- Bournemouth led early through Marcus Tavernier before substitute Rayan Cherki sparked a late rally; Marc Guehi equalized in the 84th minute and Josko Gvardiol scored the 93rd-minute winner following a video review.
- Maresca, the successor to former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, deployed center-back Guehi in midfield as a tactical gamble. The manager called the victory a "perfect day" after the turnaround.
- The club faces significant upheaval following departures of star midfielder Rodri and others; City are reportedly finalizing a €86 million deal to sign teenage Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille.
- Maresca insists he can replicate Guardiola's trophy haul if given time to handle the "big changes" at the club, though he faces pressure to close the gap on Arsenal following a difficult preseason.
