Esteemed Kompany host Steven Mcinerney reacts to Manchester City’s hard-fought 1-nil win over Bournemouth in the video below. It wasn’t the world champions at their free-flowing best but they left the Vitality Stadium with a precious three points.
The win also helped the champions keep pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool and third-placed Arsenal. At the final whistle that’s all that matters in the scheme of the season.
For Pep Guardiola’s side, Phil Foden starred in midfield. It was arguably the greatest display of City’s Wonderboys career so far. His team needed someone to stand up and Foden was the man for the job. He had great support from Rodri, John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Ederson but Foden was City’s standout performer of the night. The performance of the England international showcased the future of the champions midfield. Foden will have a massive role to play for the remainder of the season as Pep Guardiola’s side chases history.
Yesterday’s win over Andoni Iraola’s side was another example of Manchester City digging deep to pick a crucial three points. Bournemouth made the champions fight for the duration of the match as they pressed Pep Guardiola’s side, especially in the second half. But despite this City’s will to win was there for all to see and it carried them to a crucial win. It is a vital attribute of the world champions and one that will called upon again this season.
Steven Mcinerney reacts to all of this and more in the video below as City’s chase for a fourth consecutive Premier League title continues.
