Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says victory at Tottenham was job done in the FA Cup.

The Fourth Round 1-0 win was achieved by Nathan Ake's late goal.

"Football is about scoring and not conceding," said Guardiola.

“Our stats were really good today, but you see stats for past games when we could not win here.

“We are really pleased to win and score a goal against this team, go through, and defend the title. We played really well.

“Our performance was top class. These players prove again the reason why they have done what they have done in the past.

“I know they are without Sarr, Bissouma and Maddison is coming back, but they are an incredible team with physicality.

“We played with incredible personality. All the players were top otherwise we cannot do it.

“Now in the second part of the season if we lose we lose competitions, in the FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, we know how strong all the teams are.

“We cannot drop points. We had that mentality that we have to win to go through, so I am really pleased.

“I know the reality of how they train and behave. The players play really good except against Aston Villa who were much better than us, but the other ones we were there.

“It's the performance, the way we play. The beginning was quite similar, like previous seasons. I am incredibly satisfied.

“We play 90 minutes to win the game. The last minutes matter. They defend high, the speed they have, how direct they are, it is an exceptional team.

“We had to minimise what they do with the ball."
