Spurs and Man City fans spot the real reason for their 4-3 Champions League goal fest thriller

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City played out one of the most enthralling Champions League knockout matches in recent memory on Wednesday evening but fans of both sides were left frustrated by one thing.

Spurs managed to lose 4-3 at the Etihad Stadium to go through 4-4 on aggregate thanks to away goals after a 1-0 win in their home leg last week.

Son Heung-min bagged a brace inside ten minutes for Spurs to lead 2-1 on the night but two goals from Raheem Sterling and Bernado Silva's strike had City level on aggregate at the break.

City moved in front on aggregate thanks to Sergio Aguero's goal only for Fernando Llorente to level the tie on aggregate in the 73rd minute. VAR also ruled a late goal out for City.

But whilst there were mixed emotions among City and Spurs fans after the game, during the contest they shared one frustration and that was a clear kit clash on show, with many suggesting it was the key reason behind the goals galore tie.
