According to the Daily Star, Jeremy Doku was the architect of the emphatic win, with the summer arrival bagging a brace as well as four assists.

Bernardo Silva benefited twice from Doku's assists as Phil Foden, Nathan Ake, and Manuel Akanji also got their names on the scoresheet.

Luis Sinisterra scored Bournemouth's consolation in the 74th minute, but it was not enough to save them from an embarrassing defeat.

Alvarez spotted without tooth

One of the other highlights from the game was Alvarez being spotted without a tooth while celebrating one of City's goals.

talkSPORT reports that the Argentine ace was all smiles as he celebrated his side's second goal of the game, scored by Silva.

However, he appeared unaware that he had lost one of his teeth, with Silva quickly taking note of this amid the celebrations.

A perplexed Silva quickly pointed out that the youngster was missing his gnasher before a surprised Alvarez put his hand to his mouth to confirm this.

It remains unclear if the former River Plate forward lost the tooth during the match.

Pep gives Haaland injury update

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester City Head Coach Pep Guardiola has offered uplifting news over the fitness concerns of Erling Haaland ahead of their showdown against Chelsea next weekend.

Haaland was substituted off at half-time in his side's 6-1 rout over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium on November 4.

The result, however, came at a cost, with Haaland only lasting 45 minutes before he was taken off for Phil Foden.
