Man City temporarily rose to the top of the Premier League after defeating Bournemouth with a "tennis score" of 6-1 on the evening of November 4 (Vietnam time). However, The Citizens' "goal machine" Erling Haaland was injured and was substituted after the first half ended.
Despite not having the Norwegian striker, Man City still showed their superior class with 3 goals in just 7 minutes, scored by Jeremy Doku (minute 30), Bernardo Silva (minute 33) and Manuel Akanji (minute 37) and helped the Etihad team lead 3-0 before entering the break.

Phil Foden, who replaced Erling Haaland, made it 4-0 in the 64th minute. Although Luis Sinisterra reduced the deficit to 1-4 in the 74th minute, Bernardo Silva scored twice in the 83rd minute, before Nathan Ake sealed the 6-1 victory in the 88th minute.
However, coach Pep Guardiola could not be happy when his favorite student Erling Haaland was injured in this match. "He has a sprained ankle. Hopefully it is not a big problem. We do not want to risk him. The test results will be known in the next few hours," said coach Pep Guardiola.
The Spanish strategist is worried about whether Haaland will recover in time for the upcoming matches. If Haaland is seriously injured, it will be a big loss for Man City. At this time, another star of The Citizens, Kevin De Bruyne, is still out for a long time due to injury.
In the next match, Man City will face Young Boys in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of this week (November 8). Then they will face Chelsea in the 12th round of the Premier League (November 12).
