Manchester City secured their third consecutive away win against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon at St Mary's Stadium. The Citizens started the game brightly and were soon in front thanks to a goal from Riyad Mahrez in the eighth minute.

City continued to dominate possession throughout the first half and created several chances before the break. However, it was Bournemouth who finally broke the deadlock in the 45th minute when Adam Smith scored his first Premier League goal for the Cherries.

The second half saw Manchester City increase their lead with two more goals in quick succession. First, Bernardo Silva scored his first Premier League goal since January, before Phil Foden added another to make it 2-1 in the 67th minute.

Bournemouth then pulled one back through a header from Lewis Baker, but it was too little too late as City wrapped up all three points with a clinical finish from Ferran Torres in the 88th minute. It was a dominant display by Manchester City, who showed their quality once again away from home.

In other news, Erling Haaland has scored five times in a row, becoming the fastest player in Premier League history to achieve this feat. The Norwegian striker has been in top form recently, scoring four goals in his last three matches.

Haaland's recent form has been a breath of fresh air for Manchester City fans, who have struggled to find consistency in attack this season. With Haaland leading the line, City have shown that they can be a force to be reckoned with in the league.

Overall, Manchester City's victory over Bournemouth was a well-deserved result for the Citizens, who continue to show why they are one of the best teams in the world. The team is now looking forward to their next match against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, where they will be hoping to extend their winning run even further.
