Bournemouth winger David Brooks said the team was satisfied with their overall performance despite a 1-3 defeat to Manchester City. Manchester City's Erling Haaland scored twice, and Nico O'Reilly also found the net, while Bournemouth's Tyler Adams scored his first English goal. Bournemouth created some highlights in the match, but their eight-game unbeaten run in the Premier League ultimately ended at the Etihad Stadium.

After the game, David Brooks said in an interview: "I think we played very well for most of the game. Our team has shown great courage in every game, which can be seen from the fact that we scored an offside goal just 30 seconds into the game."

“We play every game with the belief that we must win, and today was no exception. However, it is always very difficult to play against Manchester City. They have many world-class players and can show a variety of tactics and styles in the game, so every game is full of challenges and uncertainties. We are very aware of this, so the whole team tried our best to play to our abilities in the game.”

"Overall, I think our performance was quite good, but some mistakes in the details ultimately cost us the victory. As we all know, we like to press high and try to put pressure on the opponent's half, but Manchester City's possession was very solid, which we should respect and acknowledge. I think we put a lot of pressure on them at times and created some chances and threats, but unfortunately, we were ultimately unable to change the result."
