Erling Haaland went off injured as holders Manchester cruised to a 6-1 win over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.
It was Pep Guardiola’s side fourth straight win in all competitions.
Haaland limped down the tunnel at the end of first half and was replaced by Phil Foden.
Belgian winger Jeremy Doku was the star of the show with a goal and four assists for Manchester City.
Bernardo Silva (brace), Manuel Akanji, Foden and Nathan Ake scored the other goals for the Citizens.
The win for City moved them above Premier League leaders Tottenham Hotspur, who host Chelsea in the London derby on Monday night. READ ALSO:
