‘Proud of Victor Wanyama!’ – Kenyans react as Harambee Stars captain shines for Tottenham

Victor Wanyama put up a solid display as Tottenham Hotpsur secured a place in the Uefa Champions League semi-finals after a thrilling away goals victory over Manchester City.

The Kenyan captain started in the middle of the park for the North London side, who were carrying a 1-0 advantage going into the game at the Etihad Stadium, but soon had that lead cancelled out when Raheem Sterling scored inside four minutes.

However, the Mauricio Pochettino-led side hit back with two valuable away goals in three minutes courtesy of Son Heung-min, while the Pep Guardiola side got another goal just a minute later through Bernardo Silva, before Sterling scored again to make it five goals in just 21 minutes.
