Haaland Double Sends City Second; West Ham Wins

Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 at the Etihad, moving City to second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Arsenal. Both Haaland goals were set up by Rayan Cherki — his first Premier League assists since returning from injury — and Nico O'Reilly's 60th-minute finish sealed the win. Bournemouth briefly equalised through Tyler Adams after Gianluigi Donnarumma misjudged a punched corner and was booked, but City controlled the second half and Haaland now has 13 league goals this season. The result ended Bournemouth's unbeaten start and left them still in or around the top four despite the defeat, while pundits praised Haaland's form and Pep Guardiola urged others to share the goalscoring burden. In a separate match, West Ham beat Newcastle United 3-1 for their first home Premier League win since February, lifting them out of the relegation zone.
