City secured our spot in the FA Cup last eight with a deserved win over our Championship opponents.
Plymouth didn’t make life easy for the Blues, taking the lead from a Maksym Talovierov header as half-time approached.
But Pep Guardiola’s men responded before the break when Nico O’Reilly met Kevin De Bruyne’s free-kick to draw us level.
MATCH REPORT: CITY 3-1 PLYMOUTH
Pilgrims stopper Conor Hazard was in inspired form, doing well to deny Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland among others before our second finally arrived with 15 to play.
And it was O’Reilly who once again breached the visitors’ stubborn defence, rising highest to nod home Phil Foden’s corner at the far post.
The victory was then sealed on the cusp of injury time when Haaland, who had seen his initial effort saved by Hazard, played a perfectly-weighted ball across the face of goal to De Bruyne.
The Belgian was left with a simple finish, which ensured we reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the seventh season in a row.
