Son thankful for VAR after wild Tottenham win over Man City

The technology confirmed Spurs' winner and ruled out a late goal for the home side that would have seen it through

Tottenham star Son Heung-min has expressed his gratitude to VAR after the technology helped Spurs get past Manchester City in a wild Champions League affair.

Spurs trailed 4-3 on aggregate in the quarter-final tie when Fernando Llorente grabbed a vital goal off a corner kick in the 73rd minute.

City appealed for handball but after a VAR review, it was determined the contact off the Spaniard's arm was incidental and the ball went in off his thigh.
