Kevin De Bruyne has such a clinical right foot. He smashes a shot from the edge of the box, but Adam Federici tips it onto the bar. Great football. 

City might be ahead, but there's been plenty of action in both penalty boxes and Bournemouth have been the most active in their opponents' area.

Nicolas Otamendi goes into the book as he scythes down Charlie Daniels. The free-kick is headed clear by City. 

City looking confident as the half comes to a conclusion. Another Bournemouth goal would change the game's complexion at the break. 

Four goals for Raheem Sterling for Manchester City this season. He certainly seems to be benefiting from Kevin De Bruyne's help. The Belgian now has three goals and three assists in his four Premier League starts.

"I think Kevin De Bruyne is going to be King of Assists this season. 

"But what we are seeing from Sterling at Man City is what he was missing at Liverpool last season - when he carries the ball into the box he's now got the confidence to finish."

Glenn Murray fires in another low cross for Bournemouth but Joe Hart gathers and throws it out to Kevin De Bruyne, who is a constant outlet for City. The Belgian collects again further upfield but his cross towards Wilfried Bony is headed away.

"It's Raheem Sterling's goal but Kevin De Bruyne's pass was incredible. The weight on a ball like that, to get it just right it's such a difficult skill to pull off. 

"Sterling had the composure to finish it off, one-on-one with the 'keeper." 

Bournemouth's Matt Ritchie whips it into the near post. Nicolas Otamendi clears for a corner, which Yaya Toure subsequently heads away. Frantic half, so far.

Christian, Kent: Poor Adam Federici will be made scapegoat today but let's face it Bournemouth were in for a premier league lesson today no matter who was between the sticks.

Bournemouth will not be downtrodden. They win a free-kick deep in the City half. Andew Surman delivers but Eliaquim Mangala heads away. 

Bournemouth like their cheeky set-pieces. This time they work a short free-kick with City defender Nicolas Otamendi stopping Matt Ritchie, who was on the charge deep in the City penalty box. 

Cherries fans in full voice, as you might expect. Raheem Sterling lifts it into Wilfried Bony, but he's just offside. 

That's made a game of it. Glenn Murray heads towards goal from a deep cross but it's over. 

Yaya Toure, back in the side today, absolutely smashes a pass out towards Raheem Sterling. Not sure how he was supposed to control it but the sheer venom of the pass drew praise from the crowd. Party pieces already? 

Raheem Sterling is on the charge again for City. He lays it back to Kevin De Bruyne, who smashes a shot towards Adam Federici's near post but the keeper palms it wide.

"We're 12 minutes into the first half and Bournemouth are two goals down, away from home. At half-time players will look at their keeper and will wonder how many more of those are going to happen. It was going to tough enough today at City - you don't need a two goal deficit. 

"How many will Man City score today now? Six, I reckon."

This one is deeper and leads to a Manchester City counter attack. The ball is crossed into City's Raheem Sterling but Charlie Daniels blocks his effort.
