Man City comeback means cup could yet save season

Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush kept Manchester City in with a chance of salvaging a trophy from this season as they came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 yesterday and reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

Man City comeback means cup could yet save season

Pep Guardiola’s side were trailing to Evanilson’s goal at halftime, after Haaland was guilty of an extraordinary six-minute hat-trick of misses, with Bournemouth looking set for a first appearance in the last four in their history.

But Haaland hauled the visitors level after the break and then, after he departed through injury, his replacement Marmoush tucked away the winner to book a Wembley date with Nottingham Forest.

imageSo for all the talk of a new – or at least new-ish – name on the cup this year, the prospect of City winning it again looms large. In truth they should have been three up after 16 minutes but for an astonishing treble, of sorts, from Haaland.

At last, the King is emerging from his mother’s shadow

As he himself has obliquely acknowledged, his mother was always going to be a hard act to follow, but in his speech to Congress, King Charles has emerged from the inevitably long shadow cast by the late Queen’s 70-year reign and global stature.
