Enzo Maresca marked his first Premier League game as Manchester City manager with a dramatic late comeback against Bournemouth, securing a 2-1 win. The match, played on the season opener, saw City overturn a deficit to finish with a victory. City fell behind early, but a late goal from a City striker turned the game on its head. Bournemouth could not respond, and the win gave Maresca a perfect start to his tenure. The result is a positive statement for the new manager and a strong foundation for the 2026-27 campaign.
