FA Cup holders Manchester City left it late to book their place in the fifth round with Nathan Ake‘s scrappy 88th-minute effort clinching a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Friday.
City had never won at Tottenham’s new stadium, nor even scored a goal in their six previous visits. But Ake flicked in from close-range after a mistake by Guglielmo Vicario, despite Spurs protests that their goalkeeper had been fouled by City defender Rúben Dias.

After a lengthy VAR check, the goal was allowed to stand.
Tottenham could have few real complaints as they were second-best for long periods against Pep Guardiola’s side and barely forced Stefan Ortega into a save.
