Despite being the dominant side from the start, Manchester City conceded a freak goal as Jamie Donley attempted to chip Stefan Ortega from almost the halfway line.

Even with their financial might compared to their lowly opponents, Manchester City still struggled to make inroads against Leyton Orient and had to wait until the second period when substitute Abdukodir Khusanov found an equaliser to make it 1-1.
After introducing Phil Foden and de Bruyne into the fold, Manchester City finally found the winning goal they had desperately searched for when the latter struck on the cusp of 80 minutes to give the Cityzens a 2-1 lead.
