Tottenham clinched a narrow 2-1 win over an injury-ravaged Manchester City to advance to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Spurs, targeting their first trophy in 17 years, delivered strong footing, but were left with injuries of their own in a tightly contested match.
Timo Werner opened the scoresheet early for Spurs, ending his 12-game goal drought by firing in Dejan Kulusevski’s cross after a smart flick from Brennan Johnson.
Spurs’ second goal came from a short corner, with Pape Sarr curling a brilliant shot from the edge of the box.
City, who were without stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Rodri due to injuries, struggled to generate their usual creativity despite fielding a talented squad.
Matheus Nunes gave City hope just before halftime by converting a cross from Savinho.
However, Spurs held their lead in the second half, enduring waves of City pressure and missing opportunities to extend their lead.
Yves Bissouma’s crucial goal-line clearance in the dying minute ensured Tottenham’s passage to the next round.
