Comments:

League position: 1st This was Manchester City’s 250th Premier League game at Etihad Stadium (won 154 and lost 51). This was the eighth time that a team had won their first five games in a Premier League season. Of the previous seven, only Chelsea in 2006 and 2010 went on to win the title. Ilkay Gundogan became the first player to score on his Premier League debut for City since Javi Garcia in September 2012.

Comments:

League position: 16th AFC Bournemouth had now kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League games. They had now lost five of their of their last seven away games in the Premier League (won one). On loan from Arsenal, this was the first time that Jack Wilshere had been selected in the Cherries starting line-up. It was only the fourth time he had started a Premier League game since November 2014.
