City fight back to keep silverware hopes alive Manchester City kept their trophy ambitions intact with a comeback victory over Bournemouth, securing an FA Cup semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest. Author - Macca Evanilson’s scrappy 21st-minute finish put the hosts ahead at half-time, leaving Pep Guardiola staring down the possibility of his first trophyless season since his debut campaign at the club in 2016-17.
