Manchester City scored two late goals to earn Enzo Maresca a win in his first Premier League game in charge – and deny Marco Rose the perfect start as Bournemouth boss.
The Cherries took the first-half lead through Marcus Tavernier, who was left in loads of space to slam in after Evanilson’s incisive low ball across the area.
Erling Haaland, usually at his most prolific in August, missed a host of chances for City as they looked set for a frustrating afternoon.
But Marc Guehi, playing in defensive midfield for only the third time in his career, nodded in Rayan Cherki’s corner with six minutes to go.
And it got even worse for Bournemouth when Josko Gvardiol guided a shot into the bottom corner in injury time.
The goal was initially disallowed for offside, but given after a video assistant referee review.
It was Bournemouth’s first defeat in any competition since January, ending their club-record 18-game unbeaten run.
Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai scored a dramatic stoppage-time penalty as Liverpool denied Newcastle an opening game victory at St James’ Park.
Goals from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock seemed to have given Matthias Jaissle a winning start to life as Newcastle manager, with Cody Gakpo having briefly levelled for the visitors in the second half.
However, with seconds left, Victor Munoz was brought down inside the box by Lewis Hall and Szoboszlai stepped up to hammer the penalty into the roof of the net.
In another game played on Sunday, Brighton kicked off their new Premier League campaign in emphatic fashion by thrashing Europa League winners Aston Villa 4-0 at Amex Stadium.
It only took the Seagulls eight minutes to take the lead as Maxim de Cuyper forced an own goal out of Victor Lindelof before the Belgian added his name to the scoresheet 10 minutes later with an easy finish to make it 2-0.
Villa crumbled as Jack Hinshelwood then struck two goals in as many minutes to put Brighton 4-0 up, before the visitors were reduced to 10 men following a red card for Joao Gomes, who lasted only 40 minutes on a nightmare debut.
