    FA Cup: Manchester City Come From Behind To Defeat Bournemouth, Clinch SF Berth For Seventh Consecutive Season

    FA Cup: Manchester City progressed to the FA Cup semi-finals for a record seventh consecutive season, securing a 2-1 comeback victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The match was a thrilling contest, with Erling Haaland’s 30th goal of the season and Omar Marmoush sealing the turnaround after Bournemouth had taken the lead.

    The game began with both teams in lively spirits, but it was Bournemouth who struck first. After a bright start from City, Haaland missed a penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga and failed to capitalize on a couple of other chances. Moments later, the home side made City pay, with Evanilson converting a rebound off the line in the 21st minute following a Kluivert touch. Despite dominating possession and creating opportunities, City couldn’t find the equaliser in the first half, with Kepa proving to be a formidable obstacle.

    Pep Guardiola made a change at halftime, bringing on Academy graduate Nico O’Reilly, and it paid off immediately. Just three minutes into the second half, O’Reilly provided a perfect cross for Haaland, who rifled the ball into the net to level the score. Unfortunately for City, Haaland’s afternoon took a downturn when he was forced off with an injury in the 61st minute.
