Manchester City <\/a>secured a place in the FA Cup fifth round with a late winner from Nathan Ake<\/a> against Tottenham. Despite having the better chances at the Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur Stadium, Pep Guardiola\u2019s team faced an early setback when Oscar Bobb had a goal ruled out for offside. Julian Alvarez and Kevin De Bruyne also missed significant opportunities before Ake scored the decisive header in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 88th minute, Nathan Ake scored a late winner, propelling Manchester City to a 1-0 victory over Tottenham and securing their spot in the FA Cup fifth round. This marked City’s first-ever goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, coming from their 102nd shot at the ground across all competitions. Despite Spurs’ claims that a foul on goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario should have invalidated the goal, VAR checks dismissed their appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City, the reigning FA Cup champions, narrowly edged Friday’s match against Tottenham, securing a 1-0 victory with a late winner from Nathan Ake. Despite an early disallowed goal from Oscar Bobb and missed opportunities, City’s chances of defending the Treble remain intact, breaking a five-game losing streak against Spurs. On the other hand, Tottenham’s hopes of silverware in Ange Postecoglou’s debut season were dashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bobb’s close-range tap-in within five minutes was ruled offside after VAR confirmed his position just beyond the line before connecting with a loose ball in the six-yard box. The game lacked goalmouth action until Micky Van de Ven’s superb block denied Julian Alvarez after the interval. Spurs forced a save from Stefan Ortega later, but the tide turned in City’s favor with the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 82nd minute, De Bruyne had a golden opportunity to put City ahead after a mistake from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but missed the target. However, Nathan Ake emerged as an unlikely hero, poking in from point-blank range after Ruben Dias disrupted Vicario’s attempt to cleanly handle an incoming corner. This secured City’s place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a notable statistic, Manchester City had never found the net at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in five prior visits before Friday’s match. The streak seemed likely to persist, pointing towards a potential replay, until City’s persistent late pressure paid off. Ake’s goal marked City’s 18th shot in the game and their 102nd attempt at scoring at Spurs’ ground overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
