Manchester City clambered back from two goals down to take their place in the FA Cup semi-finals after Sergio Agüero came off the bench to snatch the winner. For so long Pep Guardiola’s grand plans of a quadruple again appeared in tatters until his side produced a stirring comeback, scoring three times in the final 21 minutes.
In the same way that Wigan upstaged City in the fifth round last season, first-half goals by Matt Grimes and Bersant Celina, who spent six years on the books at the Etihad, had Swansea daring to dream, just as their manager, Graham Potter, had beckoned them to do. “Can we play you every week?” was the joyous chant from home supporters, until Guardiola asked his A-team to step off the bench and dig the Premier League champions out of a hole.
