Tottenham 1-0 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola insists his side ‘controlled the game’ despite Champions League defeat

Pep Guardiola believes his side were the dominant team throughout their Champions League quarter-final first leg clash with Tottenham – despite Manchester City LOSING the match.

Heung-min Son’s second-half goal decided Tuesday evening’s clash and puts Spurs in the driving seat ahead of next week’s return fixture at the Etihad.

The north Londoners were good value for their victory, with City restricted to only one clear chance – a penalty, awarded after a VAR review, which Hugo Lloris saved from Sergio Aguero.

Spurs tested Ederson more frequently and appeared to have their opponents rattled throughout much of the match, even though City ended the clash with more possession than the hosts.

And Guardiola claims his side, who were remarkably poor by their usual elite standards, actually had supremacy in the match.

He said: “Except for a few chances we conceded on set-pieces and counter-attacks we controlled the game.

“We will see if we are going to change it a bit but, with our people, with our fans, our families, we will see.

“If we are not able to arrive in the last stages it is because it is a challenge. The situation is what it is.

“When we don’t play good I am the guy who says we didn’t play good, but I don’t have that feeling.”

A one-goal advantage is by no means an emphatic lead for Spurs heading into the second leg, and Guardiola admitted it may actually do his side good to have lost the initial encounter.

He added: “With 0-0 you have to (think about whether to) ‘attack?’ ‘defend?’. Now we know what we have to do.”

Tottenham star Heung-min Son wanted by gamers to be Fifa 20 cover star ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

Gamers want Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-min Son to be the cover star of Fifa 20.

The South Korea international has been sensational for Spurs this season and has 20 goals in all competitions this season.

2

He scored twice in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City as they made it to the last four.

The 26-year-old appears to be popular both on and off the pitch as he pipped Cristiano Ronaldo to the top of the FIFPlay poll.

The poll asked players which famous face they would like to see on this year’s instalment of the popular game.

2

There were 50 top names to choose from with both Son and Ronaldo achieving 17 per cent of the vote.

The Tottenham forward was chosen more than 207,000 times while the Juventus star has 204,000 votes.

Lionel Messi was not far behind with 192,000 votes while Neymar had more than 182,000.

China superstar Wu Lei, who currently plays for Espanyol, was chosen by five per cent of people.

At the other end of the list Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Andy Robertson were bottom with 39 and 42 votes respectively.

The poll has no bearing on who will be chosen as the cover star but may give EA Sports something to think about.

Football: Son's late winner gives Tottenham edge over Man City in Champions League quarter-final first leg

LONDON (REUTERS) - Son Heung-min once again proved there is more to Tottenham Hotspur than Harry Kane as the South Korean's late goal sealed a 1-0 home win over Manchester City in an absorbing Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday (April 9).
With Spurs talisman Kane having hobbled off injured and favourites City beginning to turn the screw, Son sent the home fans inside the London club's majestic new stadium into delirium as he fired past Ederson in the 78th minute.
It gave Tottenham a slender but precious advantage to take to City's Etihad Stadium next week when they will attempt to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time.
Quadruple-chasing City were not at their best as Spurs chased and harried Pep Guardiola's side for 90 minutes and they will rue Sergio Aguero's first-half penalty miss.
The Argentine was handed the chance to put City ahead when Danny Rose was adjudged by VAR to have handled, but his 13th minute spot kick was brilliantly saved by Hugo Lloris.
The French keeper's heroics produced a deafening roar not heard along the Tottenham High Road since Spurs moved out of their old stadium two years ago, but it was nothing compared to the sounds that greeted Son's 78th minute winner.
"As a team we never give up, we fight until 90 minutes. I think we deserved to win, we were more clinical than them," said Son, who last week scored the first Premier League goal in the 62,000-seat arena, and now owns the first European strike there.
"I like this stadium, it is amazing to play here, I am grateful for the opportunity to play at this stadium."

 
 
Tottenham fans in the 17,500 capacity South Stand displayed placards before kickoff spelling out the club's motto "To Dare Is To Do" - and their team obliged, going toe-to-toe with a side who had won 21 of their last 23 games in all competitions.

SUPERB STOP

Dele Alli volleyed Moussa Sissoko's cross over early on but Tottenham were then stopped in their tracks.
Raheem Sterling cut in and fired goalwards and Rose, diving to block, was penalised for handball, courtesy of VAR, despite no City players even appealing for a penalty.
Lloris, who has come in for criticism this season, guessed right and made a superb stop.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said on the eve of the game that his side would need to match the intensity of a City outfit oozing quality, both on the pitch and on a bench containing Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane.
Tottenham worked their socks off to deny City time but after England forward Kane hobbled off just before the hour mark with a worrying-looking ankle injury, they appeared to be flagging.
City, for whom Sterling was a constant menace, were hunting an away goal but then Son, who has a knack of scoring goals for the team Guardiola once described as the "Harry Kane team" when their talisman has been sidelined, struck the decisive blow.
At first his control from Christian Eriksen's measured pass was sloppy, but Son retrieved the ball, then cut in from the byline and lashed a shot past Ederson, sparking delirium.

San Marino 0-2 Scotland: Alex McLeish’s men labour to win against lowly Euro 2020 qualifying group opponents

Scotland responded to their dreadful Euro 2020 qualifying defeat at Kazakhstan with a 2-0 win at lowly San Marino.

Alex McLeish’s men were dispatched 3-0 in Astana on Thursday, leading to Craig Burley telling talkSPORT that the manager should never have come back in the first place.

3

And while the latest match will do little to ease the pressure McLeish, Scotland did get the all-important result thanks to goals from Kenny McLean and Johnny Russell.

Many of the near 3,000 visiting fans therefore vented their disapproval towards the Scottish Football Association board, even after the second goal.

Skipper Andy Robertson admitted on the eve of the match that Scotland could only make a small start to atoning for Thursday’s loss but they barely did that.

3

The opening defeat looked even worse when Group I rivals Russia won 4-0 in Kazakhstan before kick-off in San Marino and ending the first two games against the two lowest-ranked teams on minus goal difference is a major setback, especially given Cyprus put five past San Marino.

The omens for a resounding win were not good. Scotland had only won 2-0 on each of their three visits to San Marino, twice on their way to reaching the European Championship finals in the 1990s.

McLeish made six changes and a bold choice in his central striking role in Cardiff’s Callum Paterson – a midfielder for his club and a right-back for his country in the November wins over Albania and Israel.

Paterson and Bournemouth wide player Ryan Fraser were back in after being allowed to miss the opening qualifier under an agreement with their clubs over concerns about the artificial surface, while Robertson returned after dental surgery.

Right-back Stephen O’Donnell also came in along with Russell and McLean, with James Forrest among the players dropped.

Scotland started with verve and McLean came close with a fierce 20-yard volley before glancing home Fraser’s cross and settling the nerves.

But there was no lift-off as the tempo gradually tailed off. Russell was twice off target with half-chances before teeing up Stuart Armstrong in the 20th minute but Ella Benedettini produced an impressive double stop.

Slackness remained evident in the visitors’ play and there was a scare on the half-hour mark when Jose Hirsch got in between Scotland’s centre-backs and went round Scott Bain, but he shot into the side netting from a difficult angle.

Paterson went off injured after landing awkwardly as he had a header theatrically saved and Marc McNulty eventually took his place.

There was a lack of quality about Scotland’s final ball, evidenced by Russell and Fraser wasting free-kicks and the latter crossing straight out of the park, before the half-time whistle was met by a few boos.

There was another scare just after the restart when Filippo Berardi went down in the box under the close attention of Scott McKenna but the referee was unimpressed.

McNulty had a shot deflected wide and McKenna glanced a header just past but Scotland were labouring and the introduction of Scott McTominay for Callum McGregor did little to change things.

Forrest replaced Armstrong in the 71st minute and soon set up Russell on the break to net from close range, with McNulty assisting matters by setting the Celtic winger free and leaving his low cross.

3

McNulty had good chances to add to the lead but headed Forrest’s cross wide from six yards and then saw his attempted lob diverted over.

The final whistle was met with a few jeers but more applause from the travelling fans.

Manchester United transfer news: Paul Pogba ‘agrees terms’ with Real Madrid and ‘asks Red Devils to sell him’

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has requested a move to Real Madrid after agreeing personal terms with the Spanish club, reports claim.

The Frenchman’s future is a source of constant speculation – and many expect him to join Madrid this summer after he admitted the move would be a ‘dream’.

getty

1

Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane is a known admirer of his compatriot, and according to Spanish outlet AS, Pogba has already agreed a £10million-a-year deal with the La Liga giants.

Nonetheless, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains adamant his star midfielder will stay at Old Trafford.

Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday, the Norwegian said: “You can’t guarantee anything in football but yes, I think Paul is going to be here.

“I can assure you he is very determined to succeed at Manchester United.”

Pogba has been involved in more United goals than any other player this season and was the only non-Liverpool or Manchester City player to feature in the PFA Team of the Year.

But his form has been erratic – and many questioned whether he deserved his place in the PFA’s XI.

Solskjaer defended the 26-year-old, saying: “That’s just the standards he’s set.

“When he’s creating chances, scoring goals, doing loads of work – media, supporters, it’s everyone who looks to Paul. Could he have done better?

“Paul’s done fantastic for us. He’s human. We’re all the same that we want him to do well.

“He’s a leader in that dressing room and on the pitch for us. He will be here as far as I can answer that.”

Manchester United news: Edwin van der Sar admits he’s open to potential return to Old Trafford

Edwin van der Sar is open to a return to Manchester United in the future but insists he has no immediate plans to leave Ajax.

The former goalkeeper is currently CEO at the Dutch club but has been linked with a return to Old Trafford in a director of football role.

2

Van der Sar won four Premier League titles, the League Cup and the Champions League with the Red Devils during a six-year spell at the club.

Following his retirement he moved into the administration side of football.

The 48-year-old became Ajax’s marketing director in 2012 and made his way up to CEO by 2016.

2

Alongside Marc Overmars, the club’s technical director, they have built a strong young team who have made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after knocking out Real Madrid.

Despite this success, Van der Sar has not ruled out a move to his old club in the future.

“I know United is a much bigger challenge than Ajax,” he told the Sunday Times.

“United is not just a big and famous club, but also a worldwide brand – yet when you’re inside it’s still a family place.

“I remember when I came from Fulham. Oh it’s United… but after one day you felt at home. The washing ladies. Mike the chef. Kath (the receptionist). They’re still there.

“You need to cherish that and Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) is doing a great job at it. But also Ed (Woodward).

“I have utmost respect for him, what he does for the club. So I don’t need to be the big man.

“I want to feel I contribute, and you can only do it for something you believe in. United is a special place.

“Who knows, eventually? But for the coming years I’m here.”

‘I’d love to see Frank Lampard replace Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea manager’, says former defender Glen Johnson

Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson expects Maurizio Sarri to lose his job this summer, and believes Frank Lampard would be a ‘great choice’ as the next Blues manager.

Sarri has been described as a ‘dead man walking’ as Chelsea boss, despite leading the club to a third place Premier League finish and to the Europa League final.

After a roller-coaster campaign there is a growing sense that, even if the Blues beat Arsenal to lift the trophy in Baku, the cigarette filter-chewing boss will be given the boot.

Sarri still has two years remaining on his contract in west London and has said he would be ‘very happy’ to stay at the club, although the 60-year-old has also admitted he is flattered to be linked with a move to Juventus.

But Johnson just can’t see Sarri keeping his job this summer.

“I do think the club have made their mind up already,” the former right-back to talkSPORT host Jim White.

“Sarri hasn’t done a bad job, I just think there are a few personalities that are clashing at Chelsea.

“If they win the final, you’d say it’s a positive season.

“But I don’t think it’s about the results, it’s just the way they’re getting the results.”

And he has backed former team-mate Lampard to return to Stamford Bridge as the Italian’s replacement.

The Blues legend has emerged as a surprise candidate for the role after a successful debut season in management, having taken Derby County to the Championship play-off final for a shot at Premier League football.

Lampard is now the bookmakers’ favourite and his appointment would no doubt be a popular one with supporters, many of whom are no fans of their current boss.

And even though he believes it has come too soon in his coaching career, Johnson wants the former midfielder to get the job.

“I think Lampard will definitely be Chelsea manager one day, and it might be sooner than I anticipated,” he said.

“Could he do the job? Now might be slightly too early and I’m sure Lamps would probably agree with that, but I definitely think he’ll be capable of being successful as the Chelsea manager.

“I personally think it’s too early, but I could also see it happening. It’s exciting.

“I actually want him to get the job, I think he’d be great there.”

Johnson believes Lampard would be the perfect man to ‘get Chelsea back on its feet’ after a tumultuous season, which has seen the Sarri clash with senior players and the club hit with a transfer ban by UEFA.

“He is Mr Chelsea, he cares about the club and he would be interested in the youth teams and be the link between all the age groups and get the club back on its feet,” he added.

“As a person he’s a fantastic bloke and in the dressing room as a player he was brilliant, for me especially when I first signed for Chelsea. He was great.

“I remember on the first day in training I gave the ball away and somebody said to me: ‘Come on son, you’re not at West Ham now, you’ve got to liven up’.

“But Lamps was just like: ‘Just keep doing whatever you did to get yourself here’. That’s always stuck with me and that just shows you what sort of person he is.”
