Postecoglou's Tottenham suffer huge FA Cup blow as Man City ends North London hoodoo

2024-01-27T10:30+11:00

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur are out of the FA Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat to champions Manchester City.

In what was an incredibly one-sided match at Tottenham Stadium, Pep Guardiola's City controlled proceedings from start to finish as the reigning FA Cup winners marched on to the last 16.

Nathan Ake's 88th-minute tap-in from a Kevin De Bryne corner confirmed City’s dominance and put an end to their poor record in North London.

This defeat is a huge blow to Postecoglou as it almost definitely means their trophy drought will continue on into a 17th year.

Both sides were without their leading goal scorers in Erling Haaland and Son Heung-min and it showed on the pitch with both sides lacking that final blow in the final third.

Tottenham managed just the one shot on goal compared to City's 18.

Tottenham will now turn their focus to the Premier League where they’ll host Brentford on February 1 as they look to keep in touch with the top four.

Man City will host the battling Burnley on the same day.
