On February 8, the FA Cup Round of 32 matches continue, with League One side Leyton Orient hosting Manchester City.
The reigning Premier League champions went into halftime trailing after a comical own goal by goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.
City equalized early in the second half in unusual fashion. A powerful strike from Rico Lewis ricocheted off winter signing Abdukodir Khusanov’s head and into the net, handing the young defender his first goal for the club — without even realizing it.
It’s worth noting that Khusanov’s debut for City was far from ideal. In his first match against Chelsea, a costly defensive mistake from the Uzbek defender led to a conceded goal.
