Spurs stun Manchester City in UCL

Fernando Llorente sent Tottenham into their first European Cup semi-final in 57 years and ended Manchester City's 'quadruple' hopes by scoring the decider in a breathtaking Champions League game that produced seven goals and saw an apparent injury-time winner for City ruled out after a video review.

City won the second leg 4-3 at home but Tottenham advanced 4-4 on aggregate on Wednesday thanks to the away goals rule, to set up a meeting with Ajax.

Llorente, a back-up striker who lives in the shadowof the injured Harry Kane, nudged the ball into the net in the 73rd minute with his hip - a goal that was allowed only after a VAR decision.

Raheem Sterling looked to have secured City's progress in injury-time, but as the home fans celebrated and the devastated Spurs players slumped to the turf, the referee determined that Sergio Aguero was offside before crossing to Sterling.
