In a resounding 6-1 victory against Bournemouth, Manchester City delivered an impressive performance that secured their spot at the top of the league. However, the match had an unexpected twist for City’s Julian Alvarez, who lost a tooth during the game.

Alvarez, who contributed to his team’s triumph by getting on the scoresheet, was oblivious to the dental mishap until his teammate Bernardo Silva brought it to his attention. Silva pointed to his own mouth, prompting Alvarez to investigate the matter. The Argentinian forward then realized that he had lost a tooth during the course of the game.

Despite this unexpected dental setback, Alvarez’s contribution to the game remained significant as City dominated Bournemouth. Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, and Manuel Akanji put City ahead with a three-goal lead before half-time. Phil Foden and Luis Sinisterra added to the tally, and Silva scored his second goal of the game, making it a comprehensive 6-1 victory for the league leaders.

While the dental incident may have taken some of the spotlight, it didn’t detract from Manchester City’s commanding performance in front of their fans at the Etihad Stadium.
