Fernando Llorente, Spurs Knock Manchester City out of UCL in Wild Return Leg

Tottenham Hotspur booked their spot in the semi-finals of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, despite losing to Manchester City 4-3 in an incredible all-English tie. The aggregate score was 4-4, and Spurs advanced on the away-goal rule.

Raheem Sterling gave the hosts a dream start, but three more goals would be scored before 12 minutes had been played. A quick Heung-min Son double after two mistakes from Aymeric Laporte gave the advantage to Spurs, before Bernardo Silva tied things up.

Sterling restored the lead after just 21 minutes, and Sergio Aguero's goal, coming off Kevin De Bruyne's third assist, had City ahead on aggregate.
