Overview
- The Ghana international was unveiled Friday on a long-term deal to 2031 after City agreed an initial £62.5 million fee with Bournemouth.
- Wearing No. 42, he started on the left, set up Rico Lewis in the 49th minute, scored five minutes later, and was substituted after 64 minutes to a standing ovation before receiving Man of the Match.
- Rico Lewis called his integration a "seamless transition," while assistant coach Pep Lijnders said he is a humble player who adapts quickly to City's style.
- One match report stated he became the first City player since Sergio Agüero in 2011 to record a goal and an assist on a competitive debut.
- With Pep Guardiola serving a one-game touchline ban, Lijnders led post-match duties, and City now turn to a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle on Tuesday.
