Bernardo Silva equalised for Manchester City to cap a raucous start to their Champions League quarter-final second leg with Tottenham.

After Raheem Sterling's opener, Spurs's Son Heung-min scored twice to stun the Etihad into silence.

But Silva popped up with a crucial goal of his own at the end of a crazy opening 10 minutes in Manchester.

The Portuguese cut inside from the right of the box on to his favoured right foot and his deflected shot squirmed inside the near post and past Hugo Lloris.

It meant City drew level 2-2 on the night but still trailed 3-2 on aggregate, and needing two more goals to go through to the next round.

Yet only a few minutes later, Kevin De Bruyne crossed for Sterling to tap in another at the back post. Wow.
