Son Heung-min opened the goalscoring for Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League clash against Manchester City.
The Tottenham attacker finally broke the deadlock late in the second half with a scintillating goal.
Son took a well-calculated run and barely kept the ball inside the line, as he turned and beat the goalkeeper Ederson Moares with a brilliant shot.
This was Tottenham’s first Champions League goal in their new stadium.
The goal was significant for the host side as they had just lost Harry Kane on the pitch due to an ankle injury. The Tottenham captain had to be carried off the pitch as he couldn’t put his injured leg on the ground.

This was also Tottenham’s first Champions League goal in their new stadium. The game was fairly even with both the sides creating goalscoring opportunities.
There was a significant drama in the initial minutes of the first half when the referee awarded Manchester City a penalty through VAR consultation. However, Sergio Aguero failed to convert the spot-kick as Lloris made the correct dive.
