    Heung-min Son scores for Tottenham

    Heung-min Son punishes Aguero-penalty miss as Spurs stun Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter final with a 1-0 victory at the new White Hart lane.
    Harry Kane got injured in the match and had to leave the pitch, perhaps his last time to fixture for Tottenham this season as confirmed by his boss Mauricio Pochettino. Tottenham are in good position ahead of the second leg at the Etihad next week where it's going to be a very big one for Tottenham to maintain as well as a big one for City to make a statement and change the whole thing for themselves.

    Tottenham have progressed into the next round on each of the last nine times they've won the first leg of an European knockout game.
    Manchester City have now lost all of their last five matches in European competitions against English sides.
    Son now has 18 goals so far in 40 appearances this season as many as he managed in 53 games last season.
    Since his Champions League debut in 2008/09, Aguero has now missed four penalties, more than any other player.
    Hugo Lloris has now saved three penalties in 2019; against Arsenal, Leicester and now City.
    There were a total eight English players in the starting XI last night, that's the highest in a Champions League match since Chelsea Vs Manchester United Champions League final in 2008 where 10 English men were in starting XI.
