Guardiola's Quest: Manchester City Seeks First Goal at Spurs' Ground in FA Cup Battle
FootBall | January 27, 2024
Pep Guardiola praised Manchester City's remarkable performance as they secured a narrow 1-0 victory, breaking their goal drought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Manchester City faces the challenge of scoring their first-ever goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the upcoming FA Cup clash. Despite Alex Ferguson’s famous dismissal of Tottenham’s threat, Manchester City under Pep Guardiola has struggled against them. Guardiola’s team has lost all five matches played at Tottenham’s stadium.

This hoodoo includes a Champions League defeat where a controversial decision favored Spurs. Despite City’s overall dominance, they haven’t been able to score a single goal in over 450 minutes of play at the venue. Guardiola is keen to rectify this anomaly and believes his team has performed well despite the results.

However, their struggles against Spurs extend beyond just the stadium as City has faced disappointment and contentious VAR decisions in other matches against Tottenham. Despite the challenges, Guardiola remains hopeful that his team can finally overcome their curse at Tottenham’s ground in the upcoming FA Cup fixture, especially with key players returning from injury and Son Heung-min absent due to international commitments.
