Another goal from Foden secured Manchester City's victory over Bournemouth

Manchester City and Bournemouth clashed in the 26th round of the English Premier League. The match took place at the Vitality Stadium.

The Citizens, who couldn't afford to drop points, predictably dominated the first half. In the middle of the opening 45 minutes, Phil Foden netted yet another goal, putting City ahead. This strike marked the Englishman's 16th in all competitions this season.

The second half turned out to be rather dull. The visitors played pragmatically, focusing on the scoreline and conserving energy. Meanwhile, the hosts failed to create anything truly threatening in front of Ederson's goal. Thus, the game ended with a routine 1-0 victory for City.

With this win, the Citizens amassed 59 points and continue their pursuit of Liverpool, trailing by just one point. Arsenal lags behind by four points, although the Gunners will start their 26th-round fixture later.

In the next round, Pep Guardiola's side faces a derby against Manchester United. But before that, the Sky Blues will play against Luton Town in the FA Cup.
