Ake the star as Haaland flops! Winners and losers as Manchester City knock Arsenal out of FA CupThe Dutch defender fired in the decisive goal as Pep Guardiola secured another win over his former assistantManchester City drew first blood in the battle of the Premier League’s top two with a narrow 1-0 win against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Friday night. Whether the result has any impact on the upcoming league meetings between the two sides remains to be seen, but Pep Guardiola will be delighted to have got one over Mikel Arteta once again. Nathan Ake’s second half goal proved to be the difference during an incredibly tight contest, with the defender curling a fine finish into the far corner after being set up by Jack Grealish. But City improved after the interval and it was Ake’s fine finish that eventually ensured it was the home side who progressed through to the fifth round.
