And came out with all three points. The match remained goalless until the hour mark, but Fabian Char finally broke the deadlock with a remarkable effort from a distance, before Callum Wilson wrapped up the points with his team's second goal 12 minutes before the end.

Next, Newcastle travel to face Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend and go home with a point after a goalless draw, thanks in large part to Pope's trophies between the sticks.

While Bournemouth welcomed the newly promoted to the Etihad Stadium last weekend, Ilkay Gundogan, who was the champion in defeating Aston Villa on the final day of last season with a late double, gave the Nationals the lead afterwards. 19 minutes. Kevin De Bruyne scored the second goal after the half-hour mark, before Phil Foden capped with a rampant first-half performance with a third in the afternoon six minutes later, and after a second-half goal from Jefferson Lerma, Guardiola's men came in. Away with a 4-0 win. Now, sitting as one of only two teams with six points from their first two league games, Manchester City will be looking to quickly advance to the top of the division with another victory at the weekend.

The third round of the Premier League begins between Manchester City and Newcastle United on Sunday, August 21, and the match will take place at St James' Park, the stronghold of Newcastle United.
