The Etihad stadium is a fortress for Manchester City. For an opposition team, it's a nightmare to come here and try to contain the home side for 90 minutes.

Bournemouth have been one of the standout teams this season, but they also faced the wrath of City attack this afternoon.

It didn't take long for Guardiola's side to grab the initiative, as they took the lead in the first quarter of the game. Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva were the two best players for City in the first half; Sane was the creator for Silva's opening goal.

However, the home side went off the boil after that goal, allowing the Cherries to come back into the match.

The second half was completely different as City went on a rampage with Raheem Sterling leading the charge. The England international made darting runs into the box and rightly got his goal from a rebound.

It was Ikay Gundogan who ensured all three points for Manchester City from a Leroy Sane cross late in the game.
