Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City scored scored five goals in consecutive games for the first time since April 2010 (6-1 at Burnley then 5-1 against Birmingham City). Raheem Sterling's first hat-trick of his senior career was City's 15th in the Premier League but the first scored by an Englishman. They had now won 11 of their last 12 home Premier League games. Raheem Sterling scored in the third minute of added time in the first half.

Comments:

League position: 17th AFC Bournemouth had yet to record a win against Manchester City in their seven all-time meetings (lost five). Their most recent meetings were in League Division 2 in 1998-99. Current Cherries' boss Eddie Howe played in both games. They had now scored in 13 of their last 14 away league matches. Artur Boruc was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering a thigh injury in the pre-match warm-up. Adam Federici was promoted to the starting XI with forward Lee Tomlin taking his place on the bench. The Premier League's Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - AFC Bournemouth's goal against Manchester City on Saturday 17th October 2015 has been confirmed as a Glenn Murray goal. (Circular 8 - 22nd October 2015)
