In a closely contested Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium, Manchester City secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, thanks to a goal from Phil Foden. Foden's goal, his ninth of the season and 16th in all competitions, marked his best goal haul in his career and continued his streak of scoring in his last five games against Bournemouth. The win brings Manchester City within one point of league leaders Liverpool. Despite Bournemouth's efforts to push Manchester City to the limit, they were unable to find the back of the net. Pep Guardiola praised his team's performance, highlighting the players' resilience and ability to respond to the demanding schedule. Foden has 16 goal involvements for Man City in the Premier League this season (9 goals, 7 assists), his joint-most in a single campaign.
