Manchester City Secures FA Cup Victory Over Tottenham With Akes' Late Goal
Nathan Akes' 88th-Minute Strike Sends Manchester City to Next Round
FA Cup 2024
London, England - Nathan Ake's dramatic 88th-minute goal secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Manchester City over Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday. The win sends Manchester City into the next round, while Tottenham Hotspur's FA Cup journey comes to an end.
The match was a tight affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. Manchester City had the better of the possession and created more chances, but Tottenham Hotspur defended resolutely, denying the visitors a breakthrough.
However, with just two minutes of normal time remaining, Ake rose above the Tottenham Hotspur defense to nod home a corner from Riyad Mahrez, sending the away fans into raptures. Tottenham Hotspur pushed for an equalizer in the dying minutes but to no avail.
The victory extends Manchester City's winning streak to three matches in all competitions. Pep Guardiola's men will look to continue their momentum when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.
