Nathan Aké's second-half goal gave Manchester City a 1-0 win over Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium.

But his team at last moved into higher gear via a rapid counter: De Bruyne zipped the ball to Haaland and was thwarted but it was a sign City at last had the home crowd yelling encouragement, and those in blue gave them more. Trossard, again, had a part – his cross went to the centre-forward and he missed from near-in. A vignette that had De Bruyne bundled over by Gabriel and Grealish committing a foul was a precis of their bitty mode. And, after all the chat about how the histrionic Guardiola and Mikel Arteta might clash, they were calm apart from when the latter had a pop at fourth official, Robert Jones, who seemed to warn he might be censured. Who knows why the defender was goal-hanging but Aké’s cool finish with his weaker right was rolled beyond Matt Turner with aplomb to send himself, manager, teammates and the home congregation into raptures. It was the forward’s 20-yard effort that presaged Nathan Aké’s winner: it crashed into a post and then Jack Grealish took over and weaved his magic.

Guardiola has already trusted the youngster in big games against Liverpool and Arsenal, so he clearly has huge faith in him, which looks to be justified. But having been restricted to outings in the FA Cup and Europa League since arriving at the Emirates from New England Revolution last summer, Turner was facing a Premier League opponent for the first time at the Etihad. With City and Arsenal due to meet for the first time in the league at the Emirates on Feb. But the 28-year-old performed well and he showed that he has the same kind of attributes that Gunners boss Arteta rates so highly in Ramsdale. What impresses most about Lewis is his calmness and awareness, both with and without the ball. Haaland spent much of the game throwing his arms in the air and shaking his head, but there was no goal. Despite his imposing frame, he is not a striker who enjoys playing with his back to the goal, and he enjoys being closely marked even less. In an attempt to beat the Arsenal press, City opted to hit long balls to Haaland with the expectation that he would hold it up and lay it off to his teammates. Holding, who has started cup games for Arsenal only this season, is a journeyman defender at best, but he used his experience and defensive knowledge to contain Haaland.
