Yeah, I also think Cherki is key to that functionality. In this run of six wins, he didn't start Leeds and Fulham, which were absolute chaos. He's started the four since, arguably the best player in every single one. Four clean sheets, Madrid the only goal conceded.

Ideal scenario for City is Haaland being fit and scoring all season. But 14 out of 18 goals in the past six games have been scored by other players and Cherki-Foden false 9s tonight looked pretty saucy.

City are the top scorers in the Premier League with 20. Haaland has 13 of them. But Rayan Cherki showed today he can be a path to goals for Haaland, himself and others.

Pep Guardiola fielded Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden in tandem against transitional kings Bournemouth. He will have enjoyed the results; Erling Haaland certainly did.
