I was buzzing – Nico O’Reilly excited for semi-finals after Man City comeback
The 20-year-old came on as a half-time substitute at Bournemouth and set up two goals.
Nico O’Reilly was “buzzing” after his latest FA Cup rescue act booked Manchester City’s place in the semi-finals.
The 20-year-old came on as a half-time substitute at Bournemouth and promptly set up goals for Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush as City came from behind to win 2-1.
O’Reilly had started City’s previous three matches in the competition, scoring once in the 8-0 drubbing of Salford and twice as they came from a goal down to see off former giantkillers Plymouth 3-1.
And such was his impact off the bench at the Vitality Stadium that boss Pep Guardiola joked the homegrown youngster had booked his place in the starting line-up against Nottingham Forest at Wembley in four weeks’ time.
