UCL: Tottenham stun City, Liverpool ease past Porto

Tottenham recorded a vital 1-0 over Manchester City in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Son Heung-min's strike on 78 minutes sealed a crucial win for Spurs in their first European match at the new stadium.

Hugo Lloris came to Tottenham’s rescue early in the first half, saving a Sergio Aguero penalty after the referee awarded City a penalty via the VAR.

The win was soured by the serious ankle injury to star striker Harry Kane who was seen on crutches and wearing a protective boot after the match.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino fears he could miss the rest of the season.

The second leg takes place at Etihad Stadium on April 17.

Liverpool took a big step towards the semi-finals with a 2-0 win over Porto at Anfield.

First-half goals from Naby Keïta and Roberto Firmino ensured a comfortable first-leg win for the Reds.

The Premier League leaders are now 21 games unbeaten at home in all European competitions.

Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to Portugal for the second leg on April 17, looking to repeat the 5-0 performance at the Estadio Dragao in last year’s Round of 16 tie.
