Man City vs Arsenal LIVE score: Result from FA Cup clash as Nathan Ake nets winner

Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal: Nathan Ake slotted home in the second half to book City’s place in the fifth round

Arteta: "Pep and I want to win and defend our clubs the best possible way"

Nathan Ake proved the unlikely match-winner as Manchester City edged out title rivals Arsenal 1-0 in a tense FA Cup fourth-round tie on Friday.

The Netherlands defender steered home a low shot in the 64th minute at the Etihad Stadium as City landed the first blow in their trilogy of clashes with the Gunners over the coming months.

Arsenal, the Premier League leaders, had enjoyed the better of the first half, with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard both forcing good saves from Stefan Ortega.

Yet, while much had been made of the growing touchline rivalry between City manager Pep Guardiola and his former assistant Mikel Arteta, for a seventh time in eight meetings it was ultimately the old master who prevailed.

Man City 1-0 Arsenal

86 mins: There’s a fair bit of possession for Arsenal now but not much penetration. City have plenty of men back to defend but they’re not being overwhelmed.

Martinelli is slipped into the left side of the penalty area and looks to be in on goal but Stefan Ortega is rapid off his line ans smothers the ball before Martinelli reaches it.

Man City 1-0 Arsenal

80 mins: Julian Alvarez has returned from the World Cup brimming with confidence. He’s already hit the post with a shot from range tonight and fancies himself again.

This effort is a little loftier and Alvarez can’t get the correct angle so he ends up drilling the ball straight at Matt Turner who keeps it out.

Man City 1-0 Arsenal

67 mins: Close! Arsenal come within a couple of inches of almost levelling the match after Granit Xhaka curls a cross into the box towards Eddie Nketiah.

Aymeric Laporte flings himself towards the ball and nudges it just past the forward and out of Nketiah’s reach. It would just have taken a touch for Nketiah for him to score but instead the ball bobbles out for a corner.

GOAL! Man City 1-0 Arsenal (Ake, 64’)⚽️

64 mins: Off the post! Julian Alvarez’s first real involvement sees him hit the far post with a shot from range!

The ball rebounds out to Jack Grealish who lays the ball to Nathan Ake inside the box. Ake hits his shot with his first touch and curls it beautifully around William Saliba before nestling it inside the far bottom corner!.

Great finish from the Man City left-back.
