‘Football, bloody hell!’

Football, bloody hell.

If you'd told Mauricio Pocchetino before the game that Spurs would have two away goals in the first ten minutes of the game, he'd probably have bitten your hand off at the thoughts. Ten minutes into Tottenham and City's Champions League quarter final second leg and that little genius Son Heung-min was on the score-sheet twice. https://twitter.com/VMSportIE/status/1118594687261134850 Yet Pochettino was barking like a mad man with a bee in his bonnet. In a game that rarely fails to spring a surprise, Manchester City and Spurs' meeting at the Etihad Stadium was something completely other-worldly. Watching the first 11 minutes of the game had many questioning whether they'd been watching the highlights package. The notoriously inaudible Etihad Stadium was causing tremors all over the world. This is why football is the most popular game around. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1118597694480703492 Sterling had the ball in the net as soon as the clock struck five. Son out-did him with two jackpots in six minutes but we'd only have to wait another minute for Bernardo to strike back for City. What the hell are we watching? What the hell is going on? And then Sterling got his back to make it 3-2 after just 21 minutes. Football fans everywhere were jumping around kitchens like they'd just won a bet. This is what it's all about. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1118596936398004226 https://twitter.com/DavidMeyler/status/1118593657366511619 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/1118595668262760448
