Pep Guardiola‘s men made an electric start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Oscar Bobb slotting the ball into the net inside five minutes, only to see it ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR review.
We asserted control of the tie and continued to probe for the opener, with efforts from Mateo Kovacic and Bobb expertly blocked shortly before the interval.
Shortly after the hour mark, Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne were introduced from the bench and immediately made an impact, with Doku stinging the palms of Guglielmo Vicario and De Bruyne fizzing an effort just wide of the post.
With the clock ticking towards the 90-minute mark, a De Bruyne corner wasn’t dealt with by Vicario and the ball fell to Ake, who tapped the ball home, registering our first ever goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
