Son strikes late to give Spurs the edge

Son Heung-min's late goal gave Tottenham a crucial and well-deserved advantage over Manchester City in a thunderous Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Manchester City were awarded a spot kick 11 minutes in after a VAR review as Raheem Sterling's shot hit the arm of Danny Rose, but Hugo Lloris guessed correctly to save Aguero's effort.

There was concern for Spurs as Harry Kane was forced off having been caught on his troublesom left ankle by Fabian Delph before the hour mark, but the hosts got their goal as Son kept the ball in at the right byline, found a yard on Delph and struck left-footed under Ederson inside the box (78).

Manchester City were never at their best and must now overturn this narrow deficit at Etihad Stadium on 17 April to keep alive their hopes of a historic quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.

BIG performance! 👊

Sonny's strike and Hugo's early penalty stop mean we'll take a 1-0 advantage into the second leg in Manchester next week!
