Just when the team that knocked out Liverpool in the previous round seemed to have reached half-time with its intact advantage, O’Reilly went to Kevin de Bruyne’s free kick to give the Premier League a relief measure after their opponents had punished them for the type of generous defense which was an uncertain form this season.

The captain of Bruyne stabbed the third third of the 90th minute after the substitute of Erling Haaland was saved by goalkeeper Conor Hazard, returning the ball on the path of the city’s top scorer to provide the playmaker.
