But City’s deep bench came in handy, with super sub Nico O’Reilly teeing up Haaland’s equaliser at the back post after four second half minutes.
O’Reilly, 20, had replaced Abdukodir Khusanov, who was on a yellow card, at half-time.
The Norwegian star then finished off a busy afternoon by limping off with an ankle issue on the hour mark.
But his replacement Omar Marmoush put Pep Guardiola‘s side 2-1 up after THREE MINUTES with his first touch on the pitch.
O’Reilly was the provider again as City’s January signing Marmoush capitalised on Semenyo’s slip as the ball flew under Chelsea loanee Kepa.
City have set up a Wembley semi-final clash against Forest on April 25.
Forest beat Brighton 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw on Saturday.
Nuno’s side had also advanced through a shootout in the last-16 against Wolves.
