But a VAR check saved Spurs and spotted the attacker was offside.
Pep Guardiola threw on Kevin De Bruyne from the bench in order to try and find a breakthrough.
However, Ange Postecoglou’s men held firm and looked to be heading for a stalemate until the final seconds.
Goalkeeper Vicario was left fuming after he claimed Ake had fouled him as he came to collect a cross that he spilled and was then fkicked in by the Dutchman.
But another VAR check brought good news this time for City as they allowed it to stand as they secured the hard-fought win.
