FA Cup wrap: Kevin De Bruyne hits winner as Manchester City avoid upset

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

Femi Azeez scored twice as Millwall caused an upset by dumping Championship rivals Leeds out to advance to the fifth round for the first time since 2018-19.

Alex Neil's in-form Lions arrived at Elland Road on the back of three straight league wins and they proved too strong for an under-strength Leeds outfit in front of a 34,923 crowd.

Whites boss Daniel Farke made 10 changes and it showed as winger Azeez opened the scoring in the 30th minute before grabbing his second 10 minutes into the second half.

Visiting goalkeeper Liam Roberts enjoyed an outstanding game and saved a penalty from Leeds defender Pascal Struijk on the hour as Millwall won the first-ever FA Cup meeting between the sides.

Leeds are top of the Championship and remain well placed to reach the Premier League but this was a major disappointment as their 14-match unbeaten run in all competitions was ended.
