Fa Cup: De Bruyne Rescues Manchester City At Leyton Orient

Manchester City survived a huge scare to beat third-tier Leyton Orient 2-1 and progress to the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday. Pep Guardiola had to turn to his bench to prevent a monumental shock for the Premier League champions as substitute Kevin De Bruyne scored the winner 11 minutes from time.

Jamie Donleys audacious effort that came back off the bar and rebounded in off City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega had given the League One side an early lead.

They maintained that advantage until 56 minutes when Rico Lewis shot deflected in off Abdukodir Khusanov for his first Manchester City goal.

Guardiola threw on Phil Foden and De Bruyne in desperate search of a winner and the veteran Belgian duly delivered.

De Bruyne prodded in Jack Grealishs forward pass to spare Citys blushes from the latest embarrassment of a difficult season.
