Man City winning the return to Bournemouth to reach the semifinals of the England Cup
Erling Haaland And Omar Marmoush held Manchester City with the possibility of saving a trophy from this season while they came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 and reach the semifinals of the England Cup.
Pep Guardiola’s team was following Evanilson’s goal in half time, after Haaland was guilty of an extraordinary triplet of six minutes of Misses, with Bournemouth looking for a first appearance in the last four in their history.
But Haaland transported the level of visitors after the break and then, after leaving an injury, his replacement Marmoush hid the winner to book a Wembley date with Nottingham Forest.
So, for all the speeches of a new name-o at least New-ish on this year’s Cup, the prospect of winning the city looms again.
In truth they should have been three after 16 minutes, but for a surprising sharp, of a sort of Haaland.
The Norwegian striker wasted his first glorious possibility when he met a cross by Matheus Nunes with a free header, six meters away and put him in charge.
Worse still had to come to Haaland after Tyler Adams was penalized for handball in the penalty area.
The 24 -year -old intensified to take the free kick, but Cherries Keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga Guessing the right and made a good rescue on his left.
And Haaland could not help but offer an ironic smile when he completed his quick triple-whammy, bursting on the left just to lift the shot on Kepa and the crossbar.
Bournemouth made him pay in the 21st minute when Nunes gave the ball to Lewis Cook.
The cherry skipper nourished David BrooksWhich swing in a cross that Justin Kluivert, sliding to the post, hooked the Goalwards with Evanilson who protruded a tip to produce at home.
Bournemouth, enjoying a campaign so impressive under Andoni Iraloa, raised the queues while the midfield of the city of Kevin de BruyneBernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan, who looked old on paper, seemed even older on the pitch.
The hosts almost doubled the command when a free kick from Brooks circumvented everyone in the area and bounced in a few centimeters from Ederson’s distant pole.
But while it was always a 1-0 city, and De Bruyne enriched himself in the first half interruption time while Phil Foden briefly shaken in life at the beginning of the second with a shot held by Kepa.
Furthermore, Haaland would not have continued to lose forever, and only four minutes after the restart in which he slipped to the post to convert the substitute of Nico O’Reilly Inviting Cross.
It was the 30th goal of Haaland of the season, but it would no longer be added to the southern coast after a challenge with Cook, leading to a close encounter with advertising acknowledgment, forced him to hurt.
It doesn’t matter, since his marmoush substitute immediately fired them in front of them, ending up under Kepa after O’reilly has skillfully launched him behind.
Marmoush almost doubled the advantage, but his header from Nunes’ Cross was eliminated by the line by Marcos Senesi.
But Bournemouth seemed passed, a long season of punches above their weight perhaps finally recovering with them, and City saw seven minutes of interruption before celebrating a seventh consecutive semifinal of the England Cup.
