March 31, 2025 Manchester City Climb into 7th Consecutive FA Cup Semi-Final

Manchester City Climb into 7th Consecutive FA Cup Semi-Final

Manchester City kept their trophy hopes for this season alive by coming from behind at Bournemouth to set up an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.

EVANILSON’s scrambled 21st-minute finish put the Cherries ahead at half-time and left City boss PEP GUARDIOLA facing the prospect of ending a campaign empty-handed for the first time since 2016-17, his debut season at the club.

ERLING HAALAND had a first-half penalty saved by KEPA ARRIZABALAGA and wasted two other golden opportunities as City struggled for rhythm in the face of Bournemouth’s intensity.

But Guardiola worked his magic at the break by sending on Nico O’Reilly for Abdukodir Khusanov, and four minutes into the second half the 20-year-old – operating at left-back – created the equaliser with a perfect cross for Haaland to turn in at the far post.

Another change, this time enforced, allowed City to go ahead after 63 minutes. O’Reilly played in Omar Marmoush, just on for the injured Haaland, and the Egypt attacker’s strike crept under Kepa who should have done better.

SERAP Urges National Assembly Leadership to Dump Bill Seeking to Jail Non-Voters

the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Senate President, GODSWILL AKPABIO, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, TAJUDEEN ABBAS to immediately withdraw the oppressive bill which contains repressive provisions to jail any Nigerian if they fail to vote in national and state elections.

SERAP urged Mr AKPABIO and Mr ABBAS to instead amend the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] and the Electoral Act 2022 to remove constitutional immunity for state governors and their deputies who commit electoral offences, including vote-buying, to facilitate the investigation and prosecution of perpetrators.

SERAP also urged the National Assembly to amend the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act to explicitly prohibit the appointment of members of any political party as resident electoral commissioners (RECs) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In the letter signed by SERAP deputy director KOLAWOLE OLUWADARE, the organisation said jailing eligible Nigerians for deciding not to vote would be entirely inconsistent and incompatible with the letter and spirit of the Nigerian Constitution and the country’s international human rights obligations.
