Manchester City Extend Unstoppable Run with Thumping VictoryManchester City Extend Unstoppable Run with Thumping Victory Manchester City continued their relentless march towards the Premier League title with a resounding 4-0 triumph over Bournemouth on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to 14 games. The reigning champions were in imperious form from the outset, dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities. Erling Haaland, who has now scored 27 goals in all competitions this season, opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish from inside the box. Kevin De Bruyne doubled City’s lead just before half-time with a stunning long-range strike that arrowed into the top corner. The Belgian midfielder was at the heart of everything good for the visitors, orchestrating the game with his incisive passing and pinpoint crosses. The second half was equally one-sided, with City adding two more goals to their tally. Phil Foden, who had been a lively presence throughout the game, made it 3-0 in the 75th minute with a composed finish after a brilliant assist from Riyad Mahrez. The icing on the cake was provided by substitute Julian Alvarez, who tapped home from close range in the 90th minute. The Argentine striker’s goal marked City’s 40th in the league this season, the most by any team at this stage of the campaign. City’s victory was all the more impressive considering they were without key midfielders Rodri and Ilkay Gündogan. Pep Guardiola’s side showed their remarkable depth and quality, with Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips performing admirably in the absence of their regular starters. The win takes City 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with a game in hand over their closest rivals, Arsenal. The Citizens are now strong favorites to retain their title and add to their impressive trophy collection.
