90+7'
FT: Man City 2-1 Bournemouth. The champions' defence is up and running. Foden was brilliant, and goals from him and 17-year-old Delap prove the difference. Bournemouth defended uncharacteristically well, but struggled to create chances and 2-1 is an accurate reflection of the patterns of play. City will play Burnley in round four.
90+7'
One last chance for Bournemouth to send the ball into the City box. Walker clears.
90+6'
Mahrez runs down a blind alley, but Bournemouth can't keep the ball.
90+4'
S. Cook also booked. De Bruyne looks okay.
90+3'
L. Cook booked after an off-the-ball collision with De Bruyne.
90+1'
Four added minutes.
90'
Ofobohr makes a timely interception and continues his run forward, ending up on the left flank, but his cross is cut out and City clear.
87'
Zemura wins a set piece which Bournemouth can pump into the box, and Surridge has a free header when it gets there, but he misses the target.
85'
The visitors need to get more bodies around Surridge.
83'
Cruel for Bournemouth, even if the goal was coming.
81'
Travers has been getting treatment for a while but is now up. It was clumsy from Delap, but nothing more.
79'
Delap slightly over-enthusiastically challenges Travers for a bouncing ball and is booked.

GOAL! Man City 2-1 Bournemouth (Foden). City back ahead! Mahrez plays a smart one-two with Foden and then sees his low shot come back off the post. It falls to Foden, however, and his scuffed rebound loops over Travers and into the net.
