Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur – Football Matches Report – 17 April 2019

However, City had little expectation as Son Heung-Min came three minutes later to equalize in the night and give Spurs a vital goal. Dele Alli, recovered from his recent injury, inserted a bullet into the heart of City's defense and Aymeric Laporte failed to clear. Instead, he sent the ball to Son, who hit under goalkeeper Ederson's legs.

Incredibly, Tottenham raised the score to 2-1 in 10 minutes to advance his lead to 3-1 overall. His was again the scorer when Lucas Moura won the ball from Laporte near the center line and found the South Korean who shot a fantastic shot in the top corner.

As there were not enough goals, City got one a minute later. Sergio Aguero went on to defend the Spurs and liberated Bernardo Silva on his right. The Portuguese striker hit an unconvincing shot but he deflected on the left-back Danny Rose and spun over the line.

However, City pursued more – knowing that with the advantage of goal on the outside of Tottenham, they had to defeat their rivals by two goals.

David Silva had a free kick that flew away and then, after 21 minutes, Sterling scored again to give the advantage to City 3-2. It's still De Bruyne who set it up, this time finding a space on the right before shooting a superb center across the area to allow the English winger to shoot in. an empty goal at the far post.

Shortly after, De Bruyne found space to reduce and find Aguero, whose shot was blocked by Moussa Sissoko, Sterling then sent a dangerous ball to David Silva who seemed to be able to try, but Trippier recovered the ball in a beautiful stroke.

Sissoko was injured, replaced by Fernando Llorente when he was 4-1-2-2-1, and Son reminded City that the Spurs were still able to lead an attack after a startling match against Kyle Walker. a shot from the post just before halftime.

Two minutes after the restart, De Bruyne continued his momentum by scoring an illegally stopped end by Son on the edge of the box – the Korean got a booking that prevents him from leaving the next Spurs European game – but his free kick hissed over the bar.

City is then denied a goal almost certain, while Sterling remains free in the area, his shot is saved by Lloris, but Rose manages to prevent Bernardo Silva to recover the rebound a few meters.

And City continued to knock on the door as De Bruyne forced Lloris to make a nice save with a powerful shot from the edge of the area. Then David Silva went to him while he should have done better on a free kick from Ilkay Gundogan.

His bull always seemed dangerous at the break and a beautiful tackle from Vincent Kompany countered it, while Ederson was called to action twice in a very short time: first from a bad head of Llorente, then from a docile shot by Christian Eriksen.

Then, just like before the match, a minute later, Aguero scored at the other end. De Bruyne once again offered his help to Aguero, who found an inch of space in the area and hammered Lloris into the top of the net to put it 4-2, and 4 -3 on the whole.

The Spurs only needed one goal to progress and, against the race, caught him from a corner. As Llorente jumped to the very far post, the ball missed everything and hit the Spanish striker in the hip before darting over the line. VAR asked for some time to watch a handball, but the goal was given.

In 79 minutes, Walker scored a cross that met Aguero, but Lloris dipped well to pick it up easily. City continued its wave of attacks as the Spurs straightened and Gundogan scored a volley over the counter with Pep Guardiola visibly angry on the sideline.

It did not work. Alli gave the ball the moment the Spurs got together and Aguero opened the way for Sterling to go home. But VAR decided that Aguero had been out of play during the preparation phase and that goal had been ruled out. A good ending for an amazing game. The Spurs continue to meet Ajax and City are out.
