Bournemouth 1 Man City 2: Omar Marmoush keeps Pep Guardiola’s season alive with FIRST TOUCH in FA Cup quarter-final

MANCHESTER CITY came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 in the FA Cup to set up a semi-final clash against Nottingham Forest.

Cherries striker Evanilson put the home side ahead after Erling Haaland had his penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga early in the first half.

But City's deep bench came in handy, with super sub Nico O'Reilly teeing up Haaland's equaliser at the back post after four second half minutes.

O'Reilly, 20, had replaced Abdukodir Khusanov, who was on a yellow card, at half-time.

The Norwegian star then finished off a busy afternoon by limping off with an ankle issue on the hour mark.

But his replacement Omar Marmoush put Pep Guardiola‘s side 2-1 up after THREE MINUTES with his first touch on the pitch.

O'Reilly was the provider again as City's January signing Marmoush capitalised on Semenyo's slip as the ball flew under Chelsea loanee Kepa.

City have set up a Wembley semi-final clash against Forest on April 25.

Forest beat Brighton 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw on Saturday.

Nuno's side had also advanced through a shootout in the last-16 against Wolves.
