Manchester City Through to Fifth Round of FA Cup
Ake's Late Goal Gives City Narrow Victory
Nathan Ake's 88th-minute goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win over Tottenham and send Manchester City to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Friday. The defender's close-range finish came after a scramble in the Spurs penalty area, ensuring that Pep Guardiola's side will continue their defense of the competition.
The victory was hard-fought, with both teams having chances to win the match. City dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, while Tottenham threatened on the break. However, it was Ake who proved to be the hero, bundling home from close range to send the City fans into raptures.
The win will be a major boost for City, who have had a mixed start to the season. They are currently second in the Premier League but have already been knocked out of the Carabao Cup. Progressing in the FA Cup will give them a chance to salvage something from their campaign.
