Kevin De Bruyne struck in the 79th minute to spare the blushes of Manchester City and earn them a hard-fought 2-1 victory in a rip-roaring FA Cup fourth-round tie at Leyton Orient.

The League One side went ahead in remarkable fashion after 16 minutes when a 40-yard lob by Tottenham loanee Jamie Donley hit City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and went in to send Brisbane Road into pandemonium.

Pep Guardiola had watched City get thumped 5-1 at Arsenal last Sunday and would have feared more London woe, but substitute Abdukodir Khusanov deflected in Rico Lewis’ strike to level after 56 minutes.

De Bruyne was brought on soon after and poked home with 11 minutes left to break the hearts of the O’s and their Manchester United-supporting boss Richie Wellens, as the Premier League champions progressed into round five.

Manchester City’s new £49 signing Nico Gonzalez suffered an injury just 22 minutes into his debut at Leyton Orient and is a doubt to face Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The deadline day transfer from Porto, who was bought to fill the hole left by the sidelined Rodri in central midfield, was forced off in the FA Cup tie after landing awkwardly in a challenge.

Gonzalez appeared to hurt his back and was replaced after receiving treatment. To add insult to injury, League One side Leyton Orient scored moments after the challenge when Jamie Donley lobbed Stefan Ortega from the halfway line. City came from behind to win 2-1.

But Gonzalez’s injury is a further headache to Guardiola ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League play-off first leg against Real Madrid at the Etihad. The 23-year-old Spaniard, who Porto bought from Barcelona, would likely have featured against the European champions.

Man City’s Rico Lewis says Pep Guardiola stayed calm at half time as he discussed his team’s FA Cup comeback at Brisbane Road.

"Credit to Leyton Orient, they made it difficult for us to play. It's easy to say it's tougher than you think but we all know they're tough. The crowd are right up for it.

"The season hasn't panned out how we wanted it to. Every game now, as long as we win, it could be a great season for us.

"Everyone does want us to get beat, apart from City fans of course. it's pressure on our shoulders. Everyone settled their heads at half-time."

Pep Guardiola on being able to bring Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden off the bench to beat Leyton Orient.

“That is why they are here. We take this competition incredibly seriously and we thought it was the best decision to make. I am happy for Kevin's goal, his movement was really good.”

Man City boss Pep Guardiola says his side’s 2-1 win over Leyton Orient was as difficult as he expected.

“I know the FA Cup,” he told the BBC. “Since we lost to Wigan in 2019, it’s typical of the FA Cup. It’s why we love it, the fans. They are a good team, the bombard the channels. Always in this competition they are good at that. Happy to go through.

“It was really hard but after the fantastic goal they had, we took control of the game and created a lot of chances.”

Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens sums up his pride in causing Manchester City problems but says the League One side are disappointed at the nature of the goals they conceded.

He told the BBC: "I'm proud because we created chances, we caused them problems, the atmosphere was brilliant.

“The goals [they scored] are so obvious for us. Their wingers were staying high and wide and causing problems. I'm disappointed with the last goal. At least it took the big boy [De Bruyne] to come on and beat us.”

Jamie Donley probably scored the goal of this season’s FA Cup today when he lifted his head and tried his luck from the halfway line. Sure, it went in off the Man City goalkeeper, but it’s won him the player of the match award.

He told the BBC: “I know I hit it well. I knew it fell for me nicely. I saw him off his line and luckily it went in. It will be a happy moment. It would have been a lot nicer if we won. It was disappointing we lost but it was a good moment.

“I thought we did well. We knew it would be a really tough game. I thought we made a good account of ourselves. It's disappointing to lose but I'm proud of the boys."

It wasn’t even the goal of the game but Kevin De Bruyne made the impact Pep Guardiola needed as he came off the bench to win the cup tie.

The regret for Josh Keeley, who was super today and throughout the competition, is that he just hesitated a touch in coming off his line. De Bruyne did the rest.

The celebrations from Pep Guardiola at full-time shows that Man City knew they were in a proper FA Cup tie this afternoon.
