In the 84th minute, Cherki delivered a cross from a corner that found Marc Guehi, who headed home to give City the lead. With just one minute of added time remaining, Joško Gvardiol received a pass from Cherki near the penalty area, evaded three defenders, and fired a low shot into the net to seal the win for City.
