Son Heung-min scored the only goal of the match late in the second half, to give Spurs a well-deserved advantage heading into next week's second leg.

It was an incident-packed game at Tottenham's new stadium, with the home side losing Harry Kane to an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, City also missed a penalty, with Hugo Lloris saving Sergio Aguero's spot kick.

Elsewhere, Liverpool have taken command of their Champions League quarterfinal with Porto, thanks to a 2-nil win in this morning's first leg at Anfield.

Naby Keita and Roberto Firminho netted the goals in the first half, to give the Reds an advantage ahead of next week's return leg in Portugal.
