Manchester City ended a 538-minute goal drought at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a sϲгappy late goal by Nathan Ake from a corner, securing a victory despite a physically intense but low-quality and unexciting match. Despite early efforts by Oscar Bobb being ruled offside, City’s first-half dominance lacked effectiveness. Substitutes Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku aimed to inject flair, but ultimately, it was a crucial touch from center-back Ake that spared City from a replay and kept their hopes alive for repeating last season’s treble.
