London – Tottenham star Son Heung-min admitted his side's stunning Champions League quarter-final success against Manchester City was the craziest match he has ever experienced.
In one of the most dramatic matches in Champions League history, Son scored twice in the space of three minutes early in the first half to give Tottenham a 2-1 lead in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.
City hit back to take a 4-2 lead that would have sent them through to the semi-finals.

That was enough for Tottenham, whose 4-3 defeat secured an away goals triumph after they won the first leg 1-0.
Tottenham still needed another VAR assist before they could celebrate a first Champions League semi-final berth as Raheem Sterling's goal in the final seconds was ruled out for offside against Sergio Aguero.
In total there were five goals in the first 21 minutes – the fastest five goals scored in Champions League history.

"I have never seen something like this, It was a very tough game, a very crazy game. But we are very proud of our team-mates. It was madness," Son said.
