Champions League: What Son, Eriksen said after Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Man City

Tottenham edged Pep Guardiola’s side out of the competition in an epic encounter, advancing on away goals after the tie finished 4-4 on aggregate.

Five goals were scored in the opening 21 minutes, and a controversial goal from Fernando Llorente decided the game.

The VAR also disallowed Raheem Sterling’s late winner.

“I have never seen something like this, It was a very tough game, a very crazy game. But we are very proud of our team-mates. It was madness,” Son told BT Sports after the match.

“Sometimes you are annoyed with VAR but today it is ‘thank you and good decision.

“We fought together for 90 minutes. We showed unbelievable character and fight.”

On his part, Tottenham playmaker, Christian Eriksen said, “I think I must be one of the luckiest guys on the planet today.

“With the last one they scored, I thought it was over. Thank God the ref gave offside.

“The whole game was a roller coaster, it was goals, goals, goals, goals and drama everywhere.

“It was a fun game to play but I’m lucky we’re on the good side.”

Tottenham will now face Ajax in the Champions League semi-final clash later this month.
