Manchester City beat AFC Bournemouth 2-1 in the FA Cup quarterfinal last Sunday, March 30, at the Vitality Stadium. The Cityzens thus qualified for the last four, keeping their hopes for a silverware intact.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but Manchester City have made the FA Cup semi-finals again. FA Cup lore has become so much about underdog stories and giant-killings that the bigger teams are almost treated as an afterthought: just ask Aston Villa, who were the sideshow to Preston North End’s attempts to win the trophy for the first time since 1938.

Manchester City could still end its disappointing season with a trophy after rallying to beat Bournemouth 2-1 in the FA Cup quarterfinals as Erling Haaland inspired the comeback before being forced off injured.
