Having cruised through the previous stages of the FA Cup, City found it hard to break down a resolute Everton defence.

City, who made 6 changes to the team which beat Borussia Monchengladbach to reach the Champions League last eight, did not trouble The Toffees for much of the game despite enjoying the vast majority of the possesion. 

As the game reached its conclusion, Guardiola was able to bring on Mahrez and De Bruyne to change the game.

De Bruyne had a hand in Gundogan's opener, as he powered into the box before Laporte let fly, with the German midfielder nodding in his 16th goal in what is becoming one of his best season's for the club

With Everton then chasing an equaliser to take the game into extra time, the match started to open up. This allowed De Bruyne to finally make City's progress safe.
