Erling Haaland, who missed a penalty in the first half, quickly made amends by scoring the equalizer early in the second half. However, his performance was cut short when he limped off the pitch with an ankle injury in the 60th minute. His absence was soon forgotten as substitute Omar Marmoush made an immediate impact, netting the winning goal just two minutes after coming on, assisted by Nico O`Reilly.
This victory is particularly significant for Manchester City as they navigate a tough Premier League season and aim to secure a spot in next year`s Champions League. Manager Pep Guardiola praised his team`s attitude, highlighting the stark contrast to their previous encounter with Bournemouth in November, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. City will now face Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals, looking to continue their pursuit of silverware.
