Two assists, two caviars. Holder with Manchester City, Rayan Cherki was one of the architects of the Cityzens’ victory against Bournemouth (3-1) this Sunday on the 10th day of the Premier League.
In the central circle, the new French international perfectly followed Erling Haaland’s call, which he headed with his head to let the Norwegian striker open the scoring after a little over a quarter of an hour.
After the Cherries equalized, it was again the Cherki-Haaland duo who worked wonders to restore the advantage to the Sky Blues. Again from the middle of the field, the former Lyonnais served his teammate with a touch behind the opposing defenders. And Haaland once again deceived Petrovic with an eccentric shot.
Pep Guardiola’s men increased the score through Nico O’Reilly on the hour mark, before Rayan Cherki gave way to Tijjani Reijnders in the 73rd minute.
Arriving this summer from Olympique Lyonnais, the 22-year-old Frenchman already has 2 goals and 3 assists in the colors of his new team.
