Manchester City avoids the worst. The formation of Pep Guardiola crossed the 16th finals of the FA Cup, but nothing was simple for the Skyblues on the ground of Leyton Orient.
Faced with this third division team, the Citizens were led 1-0 at the break, after a shot from the central round. And one of the recruits aligned by Guardiola, Nico Gonzalez, had to go out on injury.
Man City managed to reverse the steam in the second half. First thanks to the former Lensois Abdukodir Khusanov, who entered half-time, and who victoriously deflected a strike from Rico Lewis (56th).
It was then Kevin de Bruyne, who entered ten minutes earlier in the company of Phil Foden, who gave his team the victory.
