Man City v Plymouth LIVE: FA Cup result as O’Reilly brace helps hosts come from behind to earn win

The referee brings the match to an end and City earn a deserved win, but it’s a performance that Plymouth will take plenty of heart from.

And again from City, with Grealish finding De Bruyne who pokes a brilliant cross to the far post before City win a corner. Nothing comes from the set-piece though.

More chances for City, and they’re almost 1-v-1 from near halfway as Silva picks it up, but he can’t find the pass to Grealish.

City break and it’s a long ball in-behind for Haaland, who can only shoot straight at Hazard.

Nevertheless, he picks up the rebound and squares it past the ‘keeper for De Bruyne to slide into an empty net.

Oh, could that have been the moment for Plymouth?

They break forward and Al Hajj is allowed into the box unchallenged, but he can’t quite find the pass and the chance goes begging.

City are almost in for a third as Grealish finds De Bruyne on the overlap, but his cross is palmed away by Hazard.

It’s time for Plymouth to take risks now but they aren’t enjoying a lot of possession, and they miss out on a chance as a long throw is cleared.

City are looking comfortable here.

Changes for both sides as Foden is replaced by Nico Gonzalez, while Sorinola comes off for Plymouth and is replaced by Szűcs.

Grealish almost threads a great through ball into the box, but it’s nicked at the last.

Nico O’Reilly looks an unlikely rescuer for City, a player with one career goal before tonight. But set-pieces may also be their salvation, with goals from a free kick and a corner. Which also shows they are yet to score in open play.

City scored with their 19th corner in the end. It was no less than they deserved though, with Hazard producing a stunning reflex save from Haaland’s diving header just before the goal.
