Enzo Maresca made a bold midfield choice in his first Premier League game as Manchester City manager, playing Marc Guehi out of position. The gamble paid off as Guehi scored a late header to secure a 2-1 comeback win against Bournemouth. Despite fielding six players who can play as defenders, City controlled the game and created chances before conceding. Maresca praised Guehi's performance, saying he had never played as a midfielder before but was very good. City agreed a deal for midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille before the game, with Maresca set to speak with the club about the transfer.
