In the opening round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 2-1, with a comeback occurring in the final minutes of the match. The City's goals were scored by Guehi, who equalized, and Gvardiol, who sealed the victory in stoppage time at 90+1 minutes.

Bournemouth, known as the 'Cherries', started the match promisingly, taking the lead through Tavernier, who was assisted by a player familiar to Portuguese football, but they were unable to hold onto their advantage until the end.

António Silva, a standout player in the match, made his Premier League debut, but his team ended up defeated in dramatic circumstances.

The victory for Manchester City was especially significant, as Rúben Dias's team began the season with a display of determination, managing to turn the result around in the critical moments of the game.

This match also had an impact on Aston Villa, who faced difficulties in their own game, as reported by Maisfutebol, although no further details about that match were provided.

The game was marked by intense emotions and decisions that unfolded in the final minutes, reflecting the competitive level of the Premier League this season.
