Premier League 2018-19: 3 takeaways from Manchester City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth

#2 Losing streak continues for Bournemouth

Wilson scored for the Cherries

Bournemouth have been the surprise package this campaign. This time last season, they were fighting for relegation, but now they are in the top half in the league. Eddie Howe has been widely praised for his side's free-flowing football and never-give-up attitude.

Not many teams have managed to take the game to Manchester City at the Etihad, but the Cherries gave a good account of themselves in the first half, scoring through Callum Wilson. However, it was a different ball game altogether in the second half; City went into top gear and completely disrupted the shape of Bournemouth's defense.

This is Howe's fourth consecutive defeat in the league, which has taken the shine off a rather impressive start to the campaign. However, the manager should be proud with the way his team played against City. Even at 3-1 down, the Cherries put bodies forward in the hope of a comeback, although nothing resulted out of it.
