Thanks to Omar Marmoush, Manchester City also took a big step towards the Champions League. The last home game was for Kevin de Brayne.
Three days after the defeat in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace (0-1), Pep Guardiola’s team won 3-1 (2: 0) against AFC Bournemouth and won third place in the table.
A game day before the end of the season, the Cityzens (68 points) now have good cards in the close fight for a place in the top five. A draw in the last league game at FC Fulham on Saturday is likely to be enough for the premier class after a messed up season.
Last home game for de Bruyne
The ex-Frankfurt Marmoush (14th) scored worth seeing with a massive long-range shot from 25 meters for the lead for City. Bernardo Silva (38th), at the presentation of Ilkay Gündogan, Nico González (89.) made the decision. Daniel Jebbison (90.+6) scored for Bournemouth.
For midfield star Kevin de Bruyne it was the last home game for City, the Belgian leaves the club after ten years. In the 25th minute he missed a farewell gate when he didn’t hit the empty goal from four meters and just shot the crossbar.
City’s Mateo Kovacic (67th), like Lewis Cook from Bournemouth (73.), saw the red card. FA-Cup winner Crystal Palace won 4: 2 (2: 1) against the Wolverhampton Wanderers in the parallel game. The Oliver Glasner team ranks in the middle of the table.
