In Pictures: In pictures: Spurs end Man City quadruple hopes in seven-goal instant classic

The two Premier League clubs played out one of the all-time classic encounters at the Etihad Stadium

Tottenham reached the Champions League semi-finals after a thrilling away-goals victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.

The score was 3-2 to Manchester City after a breathless first 20 minutes, but there was even greater drama in store as VAR ruled on two crucial moments in the last 20 minutes – first awarding a goal to Fernando Llorente after a handball check and then disallowing a last-gasp Raheem Sterling winner after Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up.

Here Press Association Sport chronicles an incredible night in pictures.
