Raheem Sterling gave Manchester City the lead against Tottenham in a frantic start to their Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Etihad.

The England talisman cut in off the left-wing, leaving Kieran Trippier at a standstill, before whipping a spectacular curled shot into the far corner that left Ederson with no chance.

But just three minutes later, Spurs equaliser through Son Heung-min.

And after just another three minute interval, the South Korean was on hand to turn the tie massively in Spurs favour – or so it seemed.

After 11 minutes, Bernardo Silva equalised, leaving the sides at 2-2 (2-3) in one of the most dramatic openings to a Champions League games in history.
