Kevin De Bruyne bid farewell in his final home game as Manchester City eased to a 3-1 win over Bournemouth to close in on a top-five finish.
Pep Guardiola said pre-match that distractions would only be harmful to his side’s chances of securing Champions League football – neither De Bruyne’s Etihad goodbye nor Rodri’s first appearance in a matchday squad since September should disturb the task at hand.
FA Cup final disappointment – just three short days ago – was swiftly displaced by the top-five mission, as Omar Marmoush rifled a spectacular opener in the 14th minute and Bernardo Silva added a well-taken second – but not before a glaring De Bruyne miss.
Omar Marmoush scores remarkable strike to fire Man City ahead against Bournemouth.
With a glittering career in sky blue drawing to an imminent close, the Belgian dominated most of the preamble, and drew audible gasps when hammering Marmoush’s pullback surprisingly onto the crossbar from close range.
Kevin de Bruyne misses massive chance with an open goal firing his effort off the bar against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth barely participated in the first half but came into the game briefly after the break, Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez the most threatening of the bunch – doing their chances of a big summer move, with links to Man Utd and Liverpool respectively, no harm at all.
The visitors, fairly flat all evening, were then buoyed by the sending off of Mateo Kovacic midway through the second period for hauling back Evanilson, only for Lewis Cook to see red for a reckless challenge on Nico Gonzalez six minutes later. Gonzalez dealt due punishment by thundering a third one minute before the end.
Bernardo Silva slots home City second against Bournemouth!
Guardiola’s side, who also welcomed back Rodri from an eight-month injury absence, capped a perfect night by moving third, two points ahead of rivals Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa with one game to go, while the Cherries’ bid for eighth is over.

Hurricanes vs. Panthers scores, schedule, odds, where to watch as Florida hammers Carolina 5-2 in Game 1
Getty Images The Florida Panthers have a 1-0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final. Just two days after winning Game 7 in Toronto in blowout fashion, the Panthers smothered the Hurricanes with a 5-2 win in Game 1.As was to be expected, there wasn't much room for either team in this matchup. Still, the Panthers seemed to find a little more daylight in and around the net. That was certainly the case when Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring for Florida.With the Panthers on the power play, Verhaeghe got the puck in the low slot, went to his backhand and lifted a perfect shot over the shoulder of Frederik Andersen to give the Cats a 1-0 lead. Verhaeghe finished with two points on the night, as did Evan Rodrigues, who assisted on Aaron Ekblad's first-period goal. […]

Großer Karriere-Rückblick – Die Bam-Bam-Bilanz
Das letzte Bum-Bum von Bam-Bam! Am Wochenende kann Kiel-Legende Patrick Wiencek (36) bei den EHF Finals in Hamburg seinen 22. – und letzten Titel – einer herausragenden Karriere holen. Im Sommer hört er nach 17 Jahren auf. In SPORT BILD blickt er schon mal zurück und spricht über …► seinen ersten Titel: „Ich wurde in der C-Jugend mit dem MSV Duisburg Niederrhein-Meister – der einzige Titel, den ich im Jugendbereich im Klub geholt habe. Und dann im Juniorenbereich 2009 die WM in Kairo mit dem Titel im Finale gegen Dänemark (32:24; d. Red.). Für mich war das komplettes Neuland. Ich war vorher nie in Jugendnationalmannschaften oder der Niederrhein-Auswahl, weil ich nicht den Anforderungen des DHB entsprochen habe. Das Handballspielen war zwar wichtig, aber nicht die Hauptsache. Man musste athletisch sein, auch fitnessmäßig gut dabei. Deshalb hatte ich es wohl nicht […]
