Son Heung-min leads Tottenham past Manchester City in first leg of Champions League quarters Globe_Sports
Tottenham Hotspur players celebrate with striker Son Heung-Min during a Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in north London, on April 9, 2019.Son Heung-min filled the void left by Harry Kane’s injury-enforced departure by giving Tottenham a 1-0 win over Manchester City on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
After receiving a pass on the right from Christian Eriksen, Son’s poor first touch nearly put the ball over the byline, but he just kept it in play. The South Korean then cut the ball back and skipped past Fabian Delph’s challenge before striking a low shot under goalkeeper Ederson.
Kane missed seven games across six weeks with damaged ligaments in his left ankle across January and February – a spell when Son scored four goals. In an intense game, the Premier League gulf between the sides was not apparent. City is challenging for the title in second place, 16 points ahead of a Tottenham side clinging on to fourth place and the final Champions League spot for next season.
