Son Heung-min was the late star for Tottenham with a solitary strike on 78 minutes to hand Spurs a 1-0 win against Manchester City in their crucial UEFA Champions League quarter final first leg in London.
Son squeezed home under the body of City keeper Ederson after seemingly missing his initial chance to score, but then keeping the ball in play to maneuver himself into a position to shoot.
What was the first of 11 meetings between the two sides, which will no doubt be instrumental in the Premier League standings and consequently Manchester City's hopes of an unprecedented, quadruple didn't start swimmingly for Tottenham.
