The biggest result in matchday 10 in the Premier League emanated from the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth defeated Manchester City 2-1 to end the defending champions’ 32-match unbeaten run on Saturday, Afrosport reports.
The first goal of the game came from Antoine Semenyo in the ninth minute, with the Ghanaian winger registering his fourth league goal of the season. After some brilliant work down the left flank from Milos Kerkez, the Hungarian full-back pulled the ball back into the box for Semenyo, who somehow controlled it before turning Josko Gvardiol and beating goalkeeper Ederson with a deft finish.
The Cherries got their second goal in the 64th minute through record signing Evanilson, who got his second goal in as many games. Kerkez once again was the creator, as his inviting cross from the left was met with a seeping finish from the extending Evanilson for the Brazilian’s third goal of the season.

The visitors were clearly discombobulated, but they made a late push, and City were rewarded with a goal from Gvardiol, his third of the season. The Croatian defender rose highest to meet a cross from Ilkay Gundogan in the 82nd minute, but it turned out to be just a consolation.
The defeat ended City’s dominance over Bournemouth, who had lost their previous 14 meetings, as the Cherries made it back-to-back home wins against a top-six opposition after also beating Arsenal at the Vitality.

Elsewhere, an Alexander Isak strike in the 12th minute was the difference at St. James’ Park as Newcastle United defeated Arsenal 1-0 to end their five-game winless run, while the Gunners remain without a win in three matches.
Isak, who had been without a goal in his first seven Premier League games this season, made it three in three after powering home a header off a cross from Anthony Gordon to slot one past goalkeeper David Raya.
