walker™ Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Pep Guardiola's quadruple dreams came to an end, as his side was knocked out of the Champions League. North London side Tottenham were the victors in a game defined by goals and VAR decisions. Tottenham were hoping their 1-0 advantage over the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinals tie with Manchester City would hold up when they visited Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. What came next was a Champions League spectacle to behold. Four goals in 12 minutes Four minutes in, City went on top through Raheem Sterling, but the visitors drew level just three minutes later as Son Heung-min's low strike flew off the leg of Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson. Son doubled his scoring tally in the 10th minute, receiving a pass from teammate Christian Erikson before curving a ball beautifully into the far corner. But Tottenham's lead did not last long. Only one minute after Son's second, Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero played a pass to Bernardo Silva, and the ensuing shot from the Portuguese midfielder deflected off Danny Rose straight into the net, leveling the score at two a pieces. City retook the lead in the 20th minute after Sterling tapped in a cross from Kevin De Bryune's close range. The home side headed into a halftime with a 3-2 lead. The hosts also hit first in the second half, with De Bruyne setting up a powerful shot from Aguero who left Tottenham's goalkeeper Hugo Lloris no chance. The Argentinian goal gave Manchester City 4-3 aggregate lead in the tie, which meant Pep Guardiola's side just needed to avoid more drama and a spot in the semifinals was theirs. # Next Uefa Champions League matches : ???????
