City 3-1 Bournemouth: 10-Man Side Wins in De Bruyne’s Final Etihad Match, Ascends to Third

Manchester City eased to a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in Kevin De Bruyne’s final home game at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s side moved up to third place and all but secured Champions League qualification ahead of their final Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The hosts looked to bounce back from their FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley last weekend and quickly took the lead with a remarkable long range strike from Omar Marmoush.

De Bruyne missed an open goal from just yards out before Bernardo Silva doubled their lead in the first-half.

Mateo Kovačić was shown a straight red for bringing down Evanilson in the second-half before Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook was sent off after a foul on Gonzalez. 

Nico Gonzalez then topped a fine City performance with a glorious finish, curling the ball into the net from just outside the box. 

Daniel Jebbison grabbed a late goal for Andoni Iraola’s side to prevent the hosts from keeping a clean sheet.
