Manchester City scored their first goal at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to command a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup Fourth Round.

It was the 9th consecutive season that city made it into the fifth round of the competition which they won last season.

Oscar Bobb poked the ball into Guglielmo Vicario’s net early on the fifth minute but he was marginally offside.

The Cityzens continue to persue a goal as Bernardo Silva and Kovacic's shots were saved.

Vicario was forced into another perfect save by Julian Alvarez as the match preceded into the half time mark.

Pep Guardiola made tactical changes in search of an opener as he introduction Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku shortly after the hour mark.

There was also a lift for the hosts when James Maddison emerged from the bench for his first minutes since sustaining an injury in November.

The wonderful moment came in the 88th minute when Nathan Ake touched the ball over the line following an unconvincing punch from Vicario to givw city's its first goal in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and definitely the match winner.
