Where to start? It was an epic night, full of drama and incident, and when the final whistle went it was the players of Tottenham who were cavorting. They had finished Manchester City’s hopes of the quadruple and, in the process, reached the semi-finals for the first time. Their celebrations at the end were long and joyous.
That, however, tells only part of the story of a night when City led 1-0, trailed 2-1 and then led 3-2, all in the opening 21 minutes. All night, the game was brilliantly poised and when Sergio Agüero scored City’s fourth goal it looked as though Pep Guardiola’s team were going to save themselves.
