Bournemouth stunned Manchester City as goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson gave them their first victory over the Premier League champions.
The result ended City’s 32-game unbeaten run in the competition – a record stretching back to 6 December, 2023.
Bournemouth pressed high from the start and were rewarded in the ninth minute when Milos Kerkez’s cut-back from the byeline was turned in by Semenyo.
Bournemouth came out for the second period full of confidence and were close to doubling their lead in the first minute, but Ederson was sharply off his line to keep Evanilson’s effort out.
Evanilson made sure with his next opportunity, though, sliding to meet Kerkez’s low ball and nestling it into the bottom corner.
City finally registered an attempt on target in the 80th minute, albeit a tame one, with Erling Haaland struggling to get any power on his volley.
And two minutes later, Josko Gvardiol headed beyond a despairing Mark Travers to offer hope but the Premier League champions were unable to grab an equaliser.
