FA Cup: Marmoush confirms semifinal place for Manchester City

Manchester City needed to dig deep on Sunday after the reigning English Premier League champions fell behind to AFC Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarterfinals.

However, a second half revival launched City into the final four and Egyptian superstar Omar Marmoush provided the match winner soon after coming on as a substitute. Erling Haaland equalized early in the second half before coming off for Marmoush, who finished from a Nico O’Reilly assist two minutes later.

The difficult times continue for City in league play where they are currently in fifth position. However, the FA Cup is providing a good distraction from their league misfortunes. City will face Nottingham Forest in the semifinals on April 26.

Marmoush has scored in his last two matches for City and now has 5 goals in 11 appearances across all competitions.
