Julian Alvarez lost a tooth during Manchester City’s 6-1 win over Bournemouth.
As Manchester City celebrated their second goal of the day, goalscorer Bernardo Silva pointed out the missing tusk.
Alvarez held his hand over his mouth and looked quite surprised, indicating that he had just lost the chomper.
In attack, City were far from toothless, scoring six goals past the Cherries.
In addition to Silva’s double, Jeremy Doku, Manuel Akanji, Phil Foden and Nathan Ake got into the act.
The precise whereabouts of Alvarez’s tooth, which may still be at large on Etihad property, is unknown.
