Manchester City opened the 2026/27 Premier League season with a win over Bournemouth, delivering a successful first league outing for Maresca. BusinessDay Nigeria reported that late goals proved decisive in the opening fixture.
Marc Guehi was named among the scorers, alongside a player identified in the available summary only as Josko. The source did not provide Josko’s full name, the order of the goals or their exact timing, so those details cannot yet be confirmed from the supplied evidence.
The victory ensures City start the campaign on a positive result after overcoming Bournemouth late in the contest. However, the available report does not state the final score, where the match was played, whether Bournemouth scored, or how the game unfolded before the closing stages.
Further details on Maresca’s selection, individual performances and the circumstances surrounding the goals were also absent from the evidence. What is established is that Manchester City won their first Premier League match of the season and that Guehi and Josko contributed late goals to the result.
