FA Cup holders Manchester City left it late to book their place in the fifth round with Nathan Ake's scrappy 88th-minute effort clinching a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday (NZ time).
City had never won at Tottenham's new stadium, nor even scored a goal in their six previous visits, but Ake flicked in from close-range after a mistake by keeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham could have few real complaints as they were second-best for long periods against Pep Guardiola's side and barely forced Stefan Ortega into a save.
Three days after reaching the League Cup final, eight-time FA Cup winners Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Aston Villa while it also ended 0-0 at Ashton Gate between second-tier Bristol City and Premier League Nottingham Forest.
There were goals at Sheffield Wednesday although no winner as they drew 1-1 with Coventry City.
