Tottenham will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday after overcoming Pep Guardiola’s side at the new stadium courtesy of a second-half strike by Son Heung-Min.

Former Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce has warned Guardiola to watch out for Son’s runs in behind the defence in the absence of Kane.
