Man City 3-1 Plymouth Argyle: Pep Guardiola's side survive first-half scare against Championship opposition to book FA Cup quarter-final spot

Man City fought back from 1-0 down against Plymouth Argyle to avoid a giant-killing in the FA Cup fifth round and win 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

A brace from Nico O'Reilly and a late dagger from Kevin De Bruyne sealed victory for Pep Guardiola's men.

They learn their quarter-final opponents after Nottingham Forest's clash with Ipswich on Monday evening.
