Man City fans react to VAR decision in Champions League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester City fans have been reacting to the heartbreaking blow of VAR disallowing Raheem Sterling's 92nd minute winner against Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-final.

It has been a remarkable game of football with five goals flying in in the first 20 minutes.

Sergio Aguero had blasted the ball home in the second half to to put City in the commanding seat but then a controversial Fernando Llorente goal, which appeared to strike the Spaniard's, meant City needed to score again to go through.

Cut to the dying moments of the game as City pushed for a crucial late winner. Aguero played the ball to Sterling who did incredinbly well to avoid a tackle and put the ball home, sending the Etihad into delirium.
