Liverpool snatch late draw with Newcastle as Iraola era begins
Enzo Maresca made a dramatic start to Manchester City's post-Pep Guardiola era with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, while Andoni Iraola escaped with a 2-2 draw at Newcastle in his first game as Liverpool boss. On a day when two of the Premier League's biggest clubs began new eras, it was Maresca that finished happier, although neither manager could be completely satisfied after a pair of inconsistent performances. At the Etihad Stadium, Marcus Tavernier's first-half goal put Bournemouth ahead before Maresca's side staged a pulsating fightback in the final minutes. Inspired by Maresca's decision to send on French playmaker Rayan Cherki, who provided the assists for both goals, Marc Guehi headed City's equaliser with six minutes left before Josko Gvardiol stroked in the stoppage-time winner.
