Watch Omar Marmoush’s incredible 30-yard goal in Man City’s Premier League win vs Bournemouth

Omar Marmoush produced a moment of brilliance in Manchester City’s 3-1 Premier League victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday, scoring a stunning long-range goal that marked the highlight of Kevin De Bruyne’s final home appearance for the club. The Egypt international struck from 30 yards out, sending a powerful shot off the post and into the top corner in the 14th minute.

The win moved City into third place in the Premier League standings, placing Champions League qualification within reach heading into the final weekend of the season. Manager Pep Guardiola emphasized the importance of securing a top-four finish after a challenging year. “To be in the Champions League after what happened this season will be really nice,” Guardiola said.

Farewell for De Bruyne, but Marmoush takes the spotlight

De Bruyne, who is set to leave City as a free agent after 10 years, received a hero’s send-off at the Etihad Stadium. A banner reading “King Kev” and a standing ovation marked his final home appearance, though his farewell was marred by a missed opportunity — firing against the bar with an open net in front of him. “Terrible, terrible,” he said. “My son is going to be very tough on me today.”

City added goals through Bernardo Silva in the 38th minute and substitute Nico Gonzalez in the 89th. Bournemouth’s Deniel Jebbison pulled one back in stoppage time, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome. Both teams finished the game with 10 players following separate red card incidents.

Champions League within reach for City

After losing the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Manchester City responded with a much-needed league win. The result means City only needs a point in its final game against Fulham on Sunday to all but secure a Champions League spot, given its strong goal difference over Chelsea and Aston Villa.

For Bournemouth, the loss ended its faint hopes of European qualification. Meanwhile, Manchester City aims to end the season with at least a Champions League berth, despite going without a major trophy for the first time in eight years.
