Despite losing 4-3 on the night to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Mauricio Pochettino’s men qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in the clubs history.
The aggregate score of 4-4 saw the Lilywhites advance on away goals.
This ecstatic tie was full of drama from the very beginning until the very end.
City’s Raheem Sterling gave the Citizens an early lead just after four minutes of playing.
Tottenham, however, responded very quickly with two goals from Heung-min Son in seventh and 10th minute of the tie.
This meant that the Manchester club had to score at least four goals in order to qualify.
Nonetheless, after 11 minutes of playing Bernardo Silva found an equaliser for the club from the northwest of England.
