FT: Spurs 0-1 Man City
Before this evening, Spurs had scored, kept a clean sheet, and won every home game against Man City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Ange Postecoglou’s side failed to score, failed to keep a clean sheet, and lost.
𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Tottenham are OUT of the FA Cup.
Which means unless they win the Premier League, they’ll go ANOTHER season without a trophy. Mate.
1 - Nathan Aké has ended Manchester City’s goal drought at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, scoring in the 88th minute of their sixth match at the ground against Spurs from their 102nd shot across those visits. Relief.
Tottenham have attempted only one shot against Manchester City tonight, which is the lowest number of shots they’ve taken in a single match in our database (455 matches in all competitions since the start of 2015/16).
A humbling at home.
Spurs’ wait for a trophy could extend to 17 years and eight permanent managers…
◎ Harry Redknapp
◎ André Villas-Boas
◎ Tim Sherwood
◎ Mauricio Pochettino
◎ José Mourinho
◎ Nuno Espírito Santo
◎ Antonio Conte
◉ Ange Postecoglou
…unless Ange wins the league.
It took 538 minutes and 102 attempts on goal but Manchester City have 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 scored at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Manchester City leaving Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a 1-0 W after losing their first five trips there
It took Man City 101 shots and nearly five years to score their first goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The curse has been SHATTERED
It was sixth time lucky for Manchester City as they finally scored their first goal and registered their first win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!
days later, Nathan Ake has done it again
Manchester City’s Dutchman scored the only goal in the 2023 #EmiratesFACup fourth round tie against Arsenal, and has done the same again this year against Tottenham Hotspur!
