O'Reilly came off the bench at half-time in City's win over Bournemouth on Sunday. The Cherries were 1-0 up at the time, but O'Reilly laid on two assists as City turned the game around. First, he found Erling Haaland at the back post with a low cross, before a clever flick found Omar Marmoush before his fine winner.
