At Tottenham they called for the goal because of a foul on goalkeeper Vicario, but after a VAR check the goal stood, which the Londoners did not agree with at all. Vicario received a yellow card for his protest and was sent off.
Manchester City deserved the win, but it was hard-fought. Kevin De Bruyne and Jérémy Doku brought momentum into the game as substitutes and De Bruyne helped decide the game with a sensitively taken corner.

Manchester City’s 20-year-old young player Oscar Bobb was rewarded for his winning goal in stoppage time against Newcastle (2-3) and was allowed to start by Pep Guardiola at the expense of Jérémy Doku. “He is good in small spaces and we need that in this game,” said Guardiola. De Bruyne, who Guardiola is handling cautiously after his return from a thigh injury, also started on the bench.
Bobb thanked the trust almost immediately by scoring seven minutes from a rebound from Phil Foden’s blocked shot, but the VAR disallowed the goal because he was narrowly offside.

Manchester City dominated possession but failed to threaten Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham didn’t create a single chance in the first 45 minutes.
After 48 minutes, Alvarez was cleared by Bobb, but the Argentine let the ball bounce again before going for a strike, allowing Micky van de Ven to thwart the chance with a great intervention.

Pep Guardiola expected Belgian dynamite to ignite the game. After 65 minutes, Doku and De Bruyne replaced Bobb and Alvarez.
In the 82nd minute, De Bruyne had a fantastic chance to decide the game. Danish Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg made the mistake for the second time in a minute, allowing Foden to set the ball up for our unmarked compatriot, but he – contrary to his habit – carelessly shot wide of the goal.

With two minutes left, City scored with De Bruyne as referee. The Red Devil’s inward corner was kicked by Ake. Tottenham saw a foul on the goalkeeper at this point, but the goal remained intact even after a VAR review.
That late goal made Manchester City the only team to reach the last 16 of the FA Cup on Friday. Bristol-Nottingham Forest (0-0), Chelsea-Aston Villa (0-0) and Sheffield Wednesday-Coventry (1-1) ended in a draw and had to play a replay.
