Spurs ace Eriksen: Luckiest guy on the planet tonight

Tottenham pair Heung-min Son and Christian Eriksen were thrilled to be part of their stunning Champions League night at Manchester City.

A 4-3 defeat at City saw Spurs win their quarterfinal tie 4-4 on the away goals rule.

Two-goal Son said: "I have never seen something like this, It was tough and crazy but we are very proud of our team-mates. It was madness. Sometimes you are annoyed with VAR but today it is thank you. We fought together for 90 minutes. We showed unbelievable character and fight."

Eriksen, who gave the ball away in the build-up to Raheem Sterling's disallowed goal, also said: "I must be one of the luckiest guys on the planet tonight. I thought it was all over but It was a fun game. It was a rollercoaster, we gave them a lot but also got a lot it was a weird game.

"After today we take a deep breathe, it will be a fairytale to play them and fun to be back in the Arena again."
