Tottenham Hotspur proved to be too tough to beat at home in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Heung-min Son’s strike in 78th minute moved the north London club closer towards making history.
Spurs will take a narrow 1-0 advantage into the Etihad on Wednesday night.
If they manage to hold on to it, the Lilywhites will qualify for the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in the club’s history.
However, that job will not be easy, especially with the recent injury update ahead of the clash that Guardiola has provided.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager confirmed that star striker Sergio Aguero will be fit and ready to face Tottenham.
The Argentine has scored 19 goals in the Premier League and five in the Champions League so far this season.
