Evening all, and what an evening it's going to be! Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur, for the right to play Ajax in the semi-finals of the Champions League! Havesummadat!

Spurs just need to stay in this - it doesn't matter if they don't score for the next ten minutes, they just need to avoid conceding. But that's easier said than done - City are faster, cleverer and more skilful.

Spurs are panicking: De Bruyne crosses from the right with no one in the box, and though Lloris is down, Trippier hoofs to no one nonetheless.

This is the 13th time this season that City have scored four or more times.

And things just got harder: Fernandinho replaces David Silva, who looks suspiciously just for menned.

Spurs, if they lose, will look back at that Bernardo goal immediately after they went in front on the night. It's hard to see a way back for them if City maintain their pace, because if they do, one probably won't be enough.

GOAL! Manchester City 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur (Aguero) agg 4-3 City lead! De Bruyne, the best player on the pitch by far, drives at the Spurs defence, inside-right, and slides into the space ahead of Aguero at precisely the right moment; Aguero is onto it in a trice, and absolutely mass-murders a vicious mutha of a finish that spits and hisses high past Lloris at the near post.

A quietish period, City with the ball, but then Eriksen and Moura combine to find Son and is he in? He should be, but his touch is off and Kompany nips in! But Spurs maintain the pressure, Moura crossing frpom the left, and Llorente dives to head ... Ederson is there.

Spurs need to do something here, because City have them pinned back. It's possible that they can defend the box so well they don't concede, as it is that they find a counter from somewhere, but it's far more likely that City score at least once.

Son loses out to Walker on right touchline and City spring forward, Ageuro eventually laying back to De Bruyne, just outside the box, right of centre. He looks ready to hit it first-time, then shifts the ball from his left to his right foot and fairly mashes a rising drive towards the far post that Lloris does very well to turn away with a nails top hand. The corner comes to nothing but you can feel it: City are coming in the air tonight. Meanwhile, Rose is booked for a foul during the move - the ref waved play on.

Aguero heads the cross up in the air and Eriksen completes the clearance.

Spurs cannot and will not survive 40 minutes of this. They need to get some control in midfield, and get themselves up the pitch; meanwhile, City win another corner.

OH MY DAYS! City are finding all sorts of space now, and Gundogan guides a delicious cross into Sterling, who opens his body and punches a finish .. straight at Lloris, who parries ... and Rose does brilliantly to get in the road as Aguero tries to slide home the loose ball, even winning a goalkick. This is already unbearably tense.

Aguero runs at Vertonghen, who does everything you can possibly do to concede a foul without quite conceding a foul, seeing the ball away with the help of Alli.

...this time De Bruyne isn't having it taken off him, and he gets the power right but not the angle, sweeping over the bar.

Aguero tips off for De Bruyne, so Son hauls him back and is booked. He'll miss the first leg of any semi they make, and more pressingly, City have a fee-kick just outside the D, just right of centre...

City's defenders look much more comfortable facing Llorente - I know he holds it up nicely, but Spurs need to get Son and Moura in amongst it.

Eriksen slices across an aerial pass for Llorente, but Kompany sees him away - he does offer an option to make the ball stick, but is much more the kind of player that City's defenders want to face. I know Spurs will want to sit back, but they also need to get Moura and Son in amongst it.

Right then, off we go again.

Oh my days, what a half that was - I've never seen an opening like it. Two absolutely brilliant goals, one very good goal, and an impossibly frenetic pace. Spurs wil feel like they chucked away a chance to make the tie safe by conceding so soon after Son's second goal, but they're still in charge, and if they can keep City out for the first ten minutes of the half, will get opportunities to finish things on the counter.

Half-time: Manchester City 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur (agg 3-3)
