Man City 3-1 Bournemouth: Kevin De Bruyne바카라™s Final Etihad Bow Amid Red Card Drama

Manchester City took a big step toward sealing a UEFA Champions League spot with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth in their Premier League 2024-25 matchday 37. Omar Marmoush opened the scoring with a stunning strike, and Kevin De Bruyne, in his final home appearance at Etihad, hit the bar from close range. Bernardo Silva doubled the lead, but Mateo Kovacic바카라™s red card gave Bournemouth hope. That didn바카라™t last long, as Lewis Cook was also sent off for the visitors. Nico Gonzalez made it 3-0 before Daniel Jebbison pulled one back late. City now sit third and just need a point against Fulham to secure their place in Europe's elite league.
