With Spurs talisman Harry Kane having hobbled off injured and favourites City beginning to turn the screw, Son sent the home fans inside the London club's

Quadruple-chasing City, beaten at the same stage last year by Liverpool, were not at their slick best and Sergio Aguero's first-half penalty miss proved costly.
