Erling Haaland’s clinical double and Nico O’Reilly’s superb second-half strike proved decisive as we moved above our visitors in the standings. Bournemouth had earlier drawn level midway through the first half thanks to Tyler Adams. Just a quarter into his fourth season in England, Haaland now sits only two goals shy of the Premier League’s elite 100-goal club. Meanwhile, Rayan Cherki—making only his second league start after a disrupted start to his Manchester career—provided the assists for both of Haaland’s goals.
