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 scoring streak in his last five games against the Cherries. This win brings Manchester City within one point of league leaders Liverpool, with the final score being Bournemouth 0-1 Man City. Despite Bournemouth's efforts, including a notable save by Ederson from Dominic Solanke, they couldn't find the back of the net. Foden's performance this season has been remarkable, with 16 goal involvements (9 goals, 7 assists), his joint-most in a single campaign. The match was also highlighted by Pep Guardiola's praise for his team, describing his players as 'supermen' in response to their performance and the demanding schedule.

Man City get over the line. Maybe not as easy a game as they expected. It's a narrow 1-0 win against Bournemouth who had plenty of chances in the second-half but in the end couldn't make them count. Solanke will be thinking about that Ederson save tonight.
