Captain Kevin De Bruyne rounded off the win by tapping home the third as the game entered stoppage time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
O\u2019Reilly\u2019s performance marked his second and third goals in senior football for City after opening his account against Salford City in January.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
City came the closest to scoring first against Plymouth Argyle after 28 minutes when Ilkay Gundogan's curling effort hit the post after connecting with Jack Grealish\u2019s cross from the left, FA Cup reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having been on the back foot for much of the first half, the Championship side then took the lead ten minutes later when Ukrainian defender Maksym Talovierov headed home from close range from Matthew Sorinola\u2019s corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Last year\u2019s finalists levelled proceedings in first-half stoppage time when 19-year-old Nico O\u2019Reilly met Kevin De Bruyne\u2019s free-kick with a glancing header that beat Conor Hazard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pep Guardiola\u2019s side pressed for a second goal after half time and went close in the 75th minute when Erling Haaland saw his attempt thwarted by Hazard, with Bernado Silva unable to convert the follow up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, O\u2019Reilly gave the hosts the lead a minute later with his second headed goal of the game, connecting with Phil Foden\u2019s corner at the back post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
De Bruyne added a third late on, meeting Haaland\u2019s pass across the six-yard box, to ensure the seven-time winners of the competition progressed to the quarter finals for the seventh consecutive season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don\u2019t take for granted the difficulty when you play an incredibly organised team. I\u2019m not surprised what they did against Liverpool. It was difficult to challenge them because they are incredibly organised defensively. I don\u2019t take for granted how good we have done many, many things,\" Guardiola said about the win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
