At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where City had previously competed six times, Ake earned the distinction of being the first player from City to score there.
In addition, he struck at the right moment, scoring a late winner in north London, which allowed them to proceed to the next round of the FA Cup.
If, on the other hand, Guglielmo Vicario thought that Ruben Dias had fouled him during a corner kick, then Tottenham was dissatisfied with the video assistant referee (VAR).
The Portuguese international attempted to jump alongside the Spurs goalkeeper, but he was unable to get to the ball in time.
While Tottenham players were screaming, Ake was the first player to respond to the Italian’s strike on the deck. He slammed the ball into the net as the players yelled.
Despite the fact that it was City’s 101st opportunity to score against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they were ultimately successful in doing so, so breaking an unbelievable hoodoo.
In the preceding moments, Kevin de Bruyne missed a fantastic opportunity to put City ahead of the game as a result of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s slip in judgment.
The Danish international misses the ball close to his own goal, and it eventually makes its way to De Bruyne’s foot, where he then misses the target with a shot that is too far away.
After claiming victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup final the previous year, City is looking to win the tournament once again the following year.
On the other hand, it is a dreadful day for Tottenham, as they will now spend another year without winning a trophy in the Premier League unless a miracle happens.
As the game progressed, Spurs appeared to be on fire, yet they were only able to take one shot the entire time.
After a lengthy absence due to injury, James Maddison has made his return, according to Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham.
Ederson, who was playing goal, was not bothered by a front three consisting of Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and Timo Werner. Meanwhile, City’s defense was able to easily sweep up the ball.
A total of 18 shots were taken by City, but they were unable to score until the 88th minute of the match.
At their sixth attempt, the triple winners were able to put an end to their losing streak at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on their sixth attempt.
