Son Heung-min's late goal gave Tottenham a crucial and well-deserved advantage over Manchester City

Son Heung-min's late goal gave Tottenham a crucial and well-deserved advantage over Manchester City in a thunderous Champions League quarter-final first leg. In a searing atmosphere in their vast new stadium, Spurs overcame the loss of Harry Kane to a serious looking ankle injury - sustained when he challenged Fabian Delph in the second half. And they made the breakthrough with 12 minutes left as Son twisted and turned on the byeline before shooting low past Ederson. Spurs had survived the concession of an early penalty, awarded on a pitchside video review by the referee after Danny Rose was judged to have handled Raheem Sterling's shot. Sergio Aguero stepped up, but keeper Hugo Lloris saved. Manchester City were never at their best and must now overturn this narrow deficit at Etihad Stadium on 17 April to keep alive their hopes of a historic quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.

We Are Not Aware of Kada City, Delta Force League Swap – NNL

Basic Sports in Nigeria can report that the Management of the Nigeria National League has said that they are yet to be officially informed about Kada City and Delta Force league swap deal. The drama that trailed the NPFL, NNL swap deal between the two clubs seems not to come to an end soon as Kada City are not allowed to play their first NNL game away to Malunfashi FC because the Kaduna based team have not completed its registration with the league management. Recall that Kada City , the 2018 NNL Champions, qualify for the 2018/19 NPFL season but the club management sold the elite league slot to Delta Force in a swap deal for the latter place in NNL. However, the NNL management has not been formally contacted about the swap for them to place Kada City in the position to continue its campaign in the 2019 NNL season.
