Manchester City completed the FA Cup semi-final line-up and will play Nottingham Forest at Wembley after coming from behind to beat Bournemouth in the last remaining quarter-final tie.
Pep Guardiola’s side kept their hopes of winning silverware this season alive as goals from Erling Haaland and substitute Omar Marmoush - who replaced Haaland when the striker suffered an ankle injury - secured a hard-fought 2-1 win.
Marmoush scored with virtually his first touch after Haaland went over his ankle under the challenge of Lewis Cook. The Egyptian snuck a strike under Kepa Arrizabalaga, who had saved a penalty from Haaland in the first half of the quarter-final.
It was one of three big chances missed by Haaland when the game was goalless and Bournemouth looked as if they would punish City when Evalison scrambled in the opener to put the home side 45 minutes away from the club’s first ever FA Cup semi-final.
But City turned it around after half-time to book a Wembley date with high-flying Forest, with Aston Villa and Crystal Palace facing off in the other semi-final to be played across the weekend of April 26/27.

More calm and composed play from City and that should be that as they win a free-kick in their own half.

Kepa launches the ball forward but City clear easily. At the second tome of asking, City clear again, before Kepa gives it straight to Ederson with his third attempt. That tells the story of an uninspiring second half for the hosts.
