Story · Watch: Dramatic end to enthralling game as VAR helps Tottenham Hotspur clinch a Champions League semi-final spot

Raheem Sterling was denied by VAR in injury-time as Manchester City's quadruple hopes came to an end in the most dramatic of circumstances against Tottenham in a classic Champions League quarter-final tie. The England international thought he had a hat-trick at the death at the Etihad Stadium, but a review showed Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up as Tottenham were beaten 4-3 on the night and progressed 4-4 via the away goals rule. Spurs had already been assisted by VAR when Fernando Llorente bundled in from close range 17 minutes from time, which ultimately booked a semi-final date with Ajax. A chaotic first half had City 3-2 up at the break, as Sterling wiped out Son Heung-min's brace then scored the hosts' third following a fortunate Bernardo Silva equalizer. https://nyakundireport.com/five-goals-in-21-minutes-all-highlights-from-the-manchester-city-vs-tottenham-first-half-thriller/ Aguero's brilliant strike had seemingly put City into the semis before VAR deemed Llorente's apparent handball to be accidental and Pep Guardiola's men saw wild celebrations for Sterling's last-gasp effort curtailed in sensational scenes. After the long awaited final whistle, Mauricio Pochettino and his technical team were pumped; and deservedly so.
