Tottenham 0-1 Man City: Ake's late winner sends City into FA cup last 16

  /  R47

Nathan Ake's contentious late winner earned Manchester City a first goal and win at Tottenham's new ground at the sixth attempt - as the FA Cup holders progressed to round five in dramatic fashion.

Match Report

City were frustrated in north London, with Oscar Bobb seeing an early opener ruled out for a marginal offside, while Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva and substitute Kevin De Bruyne missed big second-half chances as the clock ticked towards full-time.

But missing from 101 shots on goal since Spurs opened their stadium at the start of 2019, City made it lucky 102 on 88 minutes as Ake tapped home from a goalmouth scramble - as the Tottenham players pleaded for a foul by Ruben Dias on Guglielmo Vicario in the build-up.

Spurs, who welcomed James Maddison back after three months out, barely laid a glove on the cup holders - as their last realistic chance of silverware in Ange Postecoglou's first season in charge disappeared before their eyes.
