DBasia.news –  Tottenham Hotspur won 1-0 over Manchester City in the first leg of the 2018-19 Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday (10/4) early morning Western Indonesian Time.

Playing at their new home, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Mauricio Pochettino’s squad showed an aggressive appearance. Tottenham more attacking Manchester City.

Even so, the Tottenham defense also appeared impressive. Indeed, Manchester City can take the lead through Sergio Aguero’s penalty, but Hugo Lloris was able to brush it off.

Unfortunately, Tottenham have to lose their flagship player, Harry Kane. Kane suffered an injury and had to be replaced by Lucas Moura when the game went 58 minutes.
