Summary at a Glance

Man City narrowly avoid one of biggest FA Cup upsets ever with Leyton Orient comeback Manchester City may have spent more than £150million in January but Kevin De Bruyne sent a reminder that he is still Pep Guardiola's main man.

Abdukodir Khusanov didn't know too much about his goal that brought the visitors level, but then De Bruyne's quality and determination completed the turnaround - with Orient's Dan Happe missing a golden chance to force extra-time right at the death.

City's FA Cup trip to League One side Leyton Orient was one of the biggest mismatches of the round on paper.

Orient didn't give up hope of finding a second, though, and top scorer Charlie Kelman went close after a free-kick from the left caused confusion, but the QPR loanee couldn't find the target.

Things got worse for City when Gonzalez went off with a back injury midway through the first half, but they brought themselves level in fortunate circumstances.
