Tottenham bowed 0-1 to Manchester City in the 2023-2024 FA Cup fourth round (round of 32)
home game held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 27th (Korean time).
Tottenham played the game today without captain Son Heung-min,
who is participating in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.
Son Heung-min, who scored 12 goals and 5 assists this season, had a huge vacancy,
Tottenham was blocked by ‘defending champion’ Manchester City,
which was trying to win the competition for the second time in a row,
and ultimately failed to advance to the round of 16.
On this day, Tottenham gave up the lead to Manchester City, allowing 18 shots and 5 effective shots.

Manchester City
Key midfielder James Maddison was brought on as a substitute in the 28th minute of the second half and made his return from injury after 80 days, but it was not enough to change the trend.
Tottenham, who had been blocking Manchester City’s one-sided offensive,
gave up the winning shot to Nathan Ake in the 43rd minute of the second half.
When Kevin De Bruyne’s ball from the left corner headed straight for the goal,
goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario managed to hit it, but in a mixed situation,
Ake pushed the second ball into the goal with his left foot to tie the game.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest, the team of Hwang Ui-jo,
who is under police investigation and banned from leaving the country on suspicion of illegal filming,
drew 0-0 with Bristol City, a second division team, and will play a rematch for a place in the round of 16.
Chelsea and Aston Villa also face each other again after recording a 0-0 draw.
The FA Cup rematch is scheduled to be held early next month.
