Leroy Sane was impressive for Manchester City.
The Etihad stadium is a fortress for Manchester City. For an opposition team, it's a nightmare to come here and try to contain the home side for 90 minutes.

Bournemouth have been one of the standout teams this season, but they also faced the wrath of City attack this afternoon.
It didn't take long for Guardiola's side to grab the initiative, as they took the lead in the first quarter of the game. Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva were the two best players for City in the first half; Sane was the creator for Silva's opening goal.
However, the home side went off the boil after that goal, allowing the Cherries to come back into the match.

The second half was completely different as City went on a rampage with Raheem Sterling leading the charge. The England international made darting runs into the box and rightly got his goal from a rebound.
It was Ikay Gundogan who ensured all three points for Manchester City from a Leroy Sane cross late in the game.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
