BOURNEMOUTH, England (Reuters) -Striker Omar Marmoush scored the winner as Manchester City came back from a goal down to beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Sunday to book their spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, with Erling Haaland having a penalty saved before netting the equaliser.

With Haaland out of sorts and eventually having to be replaced due to an ankle injury, it was Pep Guardiola's bench that came to the rescue, as Nico O'Reilly slotted in at left back and changed the complexion of the game before Marmoush, who replaced the injured Haaland, scored the winner.
