Manchester City's match-winner Nathan Ake believes that his side's victory over Arsenal is important for the rest of the season.
It was a tough battle in the FA Cup as the Blues and the Gunners matched each other for large periods. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard both stung the palms of Stefan Ortega as the visitors had the better of the first half.
After the break, City managed to find their breakthrough. A long-range effort from Julian Alvarez clattered the post, the rebound fell to Jack Grealish who played it back for Ake to calmly find the bottom corner.
