second.<\/p>\n<p>And to think this followed Bournemouth\u2019s unthinkable victory over Arsenal on the same pitch two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>That day the Gunners\u2019 own undefeated run was shot down 2-0 they suffered a first half sending off.<\/p>\n<p>But there was no helping hand for the hosts this time<\/p>\n<p>This was no ordinary day out at the seaside for Guardiola and his merry, supposedly depleted, men.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9b59467d-9ae6-4bc6-9de6-87d1c1bb49c2_9c39b9.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=824\" alt=\"BOURNE

pies because Kyle Walker was surprisingly back in the starting line-up with Kevin de Bruyne on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>And of course it does help team morale when you can recall a robotic goal machine in Erling Haaland.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland stepped off the coach with 74 Premier League goals in his pockets from 75 games with 11 of them arriving this season alone.<\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian monster was \u201crested\u201d at Tottenham with this fixture in mind-even if it was against little old Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

defeat in 11 MONTHS over Bournemouth\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There again the striker goalscoring record of just one in four league meetings against the minnows isn\u2019t one of his best stats.<\/p>\n<p>Guardiola\u2019s unbeaten league leaders had won their previous 14 top-flight games against the Cherries scoring over three goals per match.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse Bournemouth have never beaten City in their 20 league meetings-a record for most matches lost against the same opponent in the top four tiers.<\/p>\n<p>But there again the hosts couldn\u2019t be underestimated having just ended Arsenal\u2019s undefeated league campaign on the same grass last time out.<\/p>\n<p>And a fighting late, late draw at Aston Villa last weekend served notice that Andoni Iraola\u2019s boys are now serious top-flight opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Just a minute after The Last Post was beautifully played by a military bugler the Cherries came so close to posting the first goal.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Tavernier robbed former Cherries star Nathan Ake in midfield and set Antoine Semenyo racing clear.<\/p>\n<p>Semenyo\u2018 drive was blocked by goalkeeper Ederson, who reacted superbly keeping out Justin Kluivert\u2019s follow-up shot with his outstretched leg.<\/p>\n<p>Iraola had instructed his team to go full-out from the off to try and score first because they hadn\u2019t notched a goal in the first 15 minutes all season.<\/p>\n<p>And Semenyo followed his orders immaculately when he put the Cherries deservedly ahead on nine minutes.<\/p>\n<p>And to be fair Haaland was virtually a spectator as the hosts kept his defence on the back foot in the opening 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>But that was never going to last and alarm bells were soon ringing in the home defence when Foden picked the Norwegian out at the back stick.<\/p>\n<p>The blonde giant rose highest but instead of trying for goal he headed the ball sideways but Bernardo Silva couldn\u2019t reach it.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth nearly shook their mighty visitors with a second goal straight after the break.<\/p>\n<p>A long ball over the top reached the ever-dangerous Semenyo but when he took a bad touch Evanilson took on shooting duties.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for the Blues Ederson was alive to the danger and diverted the Brazilian forward\u2019s shot for a corner.<\/p>\n<p>City responded well and should have levelled on 51 minutes but Foden pulled his effort wide from Matheus Nunes\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors were concerned just before the hour when Haaland was injured in a clash with Lewis Cook.<\/p>\n<p>When the home crowd sang \u201cYou will be crying in a minute,\u201d Cook apologized to the Norwegian, who did not get any sympathy.<\/p>\n<p>When he left Walker on the deck, Semenyo rose up once more before charging forward and seeing his shot deflected wide.<\/p>\n<p>Eight minutes from the end, Gvardiol headed Ilkay Gundogan\u2019s cross into the top corner to give City a goal back.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland\u2019s header was pushed off the line in stoppage time as the Blues attempted a comeback and should have won a draw.<\/p>\n<p>However, this determined Bournemouth team earned their most well-known triumph in the team\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PEP GUARDIOLA\u2019S imperious Champions were brought down to earth by little
