Gvardiol’s Stoppage-Time Heroics | Belfast News

Josko Gvardiol delivered the dramatic stoppage-time winner as Manchester City edged Bournemouth 2-1 in their opening Premier League clash, rallying from an early deficit and equalizing just six minutes before full time. Reflecting on the team’s transitional season — marked by Pep Guardiola’s departure and key departures like Rodri and Stones — Gvardiol acknowledged they’re not yet at peak form but are adapting under new manager Enzo Maresca, whose tactical system, shaped by his Chelsea and Leicester experience, demands fresh habits. He praised substitute Rayan Cherki’s pivotal assist in sparking the comeback and emphasized that securing three points was the priority in a season that will test their resilience. With new signings arriving and everyone stepping up, Gvardiol remains confident the team will find its rhythm and rise to meet the challenge ahead.
