Summary
Rayan Cherki changed the match after coming on in the 62nd minute, supplying both assists as Manchester City overturned a 1-0 deficit to win Enzo Maresca's first Premier League game in charge.
Bournemouth had led through Marcus Tavernier and threatened again, but City struck late through Marc Guehi's equaliser before Josko Gvardiol scored the injury-time winner.
Gianluigi Donnarumma kept City in the game with key saves from Justin Kluivert and Daniel Jebbison, while Erling Haaland missed several chances, including a close-range sitter.
The result opened City's league campaign with a comeback victory, while Marco Rose's first league match as Bournemouth manager ended in defeat despite a strong away performance.
