UCL: Son Late Goal Gives Tottenham 1-0 Advantage Over Man City

UCL: Son Late Goal Gives Tottenham 1-0 Advantage Over Man City By Admin And surely it is now advantage Tottenham with Manchester City’s dreams of a historic quadruple hanging by a thread. Tottenham showed courage and heart, refusing to buckle even after Harry Kane suffered a serious looking ankle injury as Heung-Min Son’s late winner brought the new stadium to life. The home fans went home celebrating believing that they can go through now, the slender victory enough to give them hope that they have something to cling to at the Etihad. City, by contrast, must feel as if history is in danger of repeating itself because they lost to Liverpool at the same stage last year and that must be weighing heavily in Pep Guardiola They will surely never get a better chance because Sergio Aguero missed a controversial first half penalty - a gift courtesy of VAR - and when Kane hobbled over the tie looked to be going in City’s favour. Pochettino and Guardiola debate VAR's penalty decision But maybe the pressure of chasing four trophies, together with the gruelling fixture list is finally weighing down City and the danger from here is that if it becomes too much they could lose it all. That must be the biggest fear because City are good enough to make history, good enough to become immortal and yet there is also a reason why no-one has ever done it before. Despite Pep Guardiola insisting otherwise, City were nowhere near their best as players looked tired, they missed the injured Bernardo Silva’s energy and impetus and Tottenham looked like a team playing as if they knew this was win-or-bust.
