Sergio Aguero scored twice as reigning champions Manchester City moved up to second in the Premier League with a convincing victory at Bournemouth.
Despite the odd defensive lapse, it was a largely comfortable afternoon for Pep Guardiola’s side, who are now just two points behind leaders Liverpool.
His City team quickly established control, with Argentina forward Aguero turning Kevin De Bruyne’s cross into the bottom left corner from eight yards.
And Raheem Sterling doubled their advantage with his fifth goal in as many matches, flicking a shot beyond Cherries keeper Aaron Ramsdale after a fine David Silva pass.
While Bournemouth substitute Harry Wilson’s superb 25-yard free-kick briefly raised hopes of a fight-back, Aguero pounced for City’s third after more good work from Silva.
