Manchester City are through to yet another FA Cup semi-final after coming from behind to knock out Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola’s side were beaten by the Cherries on their last visit to the Vitality Stadium earlier in the season, and for 45 minutes it looked like they were going to suffer the same fate from the Premier League fixture.

However, some inspired substitutions from the Spanish tactician in the second half proved to be the difference and Man City will face Nottingham Forest at Wembley Stadium next month for the chance to reach a third consecutive FA Cup final. Evanilson bundled the ball home to give the hosts the lead, slightly against the run of play after Erling Haaland saw his penalty saved by Kepa.

Man City were level early in the second half when Nico O'Reilly put the ball on a plate for Haaland who slid in at the back post. The Norwegian limped off on the hour mark, though his replacement Omar Marmoush made an instant impact with the winner. Follow the game back with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
