Manchester City have advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, after they defeated Plymouth 3-1 at home tonight - in a more difficult than expected upset.

The Championship side eliminated Liverpool in the last round, but nevertheless arrived at the Etihad as an underdog.

Guardiola, on the other hand, shuffled the team, fielding a lineup without a real striker - Haaland and Marmuš remained on the bench.

However, Plymouth surprised in the first half, taking the lead with the only shot - Maksim Telovierov headed in after a corner kick in the 38th minute.

And City responded from the break - 19-year-old Nico O'Reilly scored two headers in the first minute of half-time injury time and in the 76th minute.

The final score was 3:1 by Kevin de Bruyne in the 90th minute. He was assisted by Haaland, who had come on in the meantime.

Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Preston and Bournemouth secured a place in the quarterfinals.
