            Manchester City youngster Nico O'Reilly scored twice to spare his illustrious team-mates' blushes and deny Championship strugglers Plymouth another famous FA Cup scalp.
For seven glorious minutes, that magnificent, buoyant, vocal 7,800-strong Plymouth support, who made the 560-mile round trip north knowing they would not be back home until the early hours of Sunday morning, dared to dream.
