Man City 1-0 Arsenal LIVE! Ake goal - FA Cup result, match stream and latest updates today

Man City vs Arsenal LIVE!

Manchester City sent Arsenal a key title warning after knocking them out of the FA Cup on Friday night. Nathan Ake’s superb second-half finish proved the key moment in an absorbing fourth-round affair at the Etihad Stadium, with the Dutch defender expertly guiding home his second goal of the season after substitute Julian Alvarez had struck the post.

Arsenal had enjoyed the best chances before the break, with Stefan Ortega denying both impressive full debutant Leandro Trossard and Takehiro Tomiyasu, while Eddie Nketiah steered wide at the front post. Nketiah also had the best opportunity to equalise, but he could not provide the finish thanks to some superb Aymeric Laporte defending and Gabriel Martinelli’s exciting cameo was also not enough to force a replay.

Only their fourth defeat of the season, the Gunners will be out for revenge when the two teams meet again in the Premier League on February 15. Follow Man City vs Arsenal reaction live below, with expert analysis from Simon Collings at the ground.
