Mauricio Pochettino fears Harry Kane's season could be over

Kane hobbled off in the second-half after being caught by Fabian Delph on the touchline, with the England striker rolling the same left ankle which led to him being sidelined for six weeks earlier this year.

After Kane hobbled off injured and favourites City beginning to turn the screw, Heung-min Son sent the home fans inside the London club's majestic new stadium into delirium as he fired past Ederson in the 78th minute, keeping their hopes of a first Champions League semi-final intact.

The loss of Kane will worry Tottenham ahead of the return leg at the Etihad Stadium - and Pochettino fears the England striker may not play again this season.

Pochettino told BT Sport: "We need to check tomorrow but it looks like it is the same ankle and similar injury. It is very sad and very disappointing. We are going to miss him - maybe for the rest of the season.

"It is a worry for us. We hope it is not a big issue. But there is not to much time to recover. He twisted his ankle so we will see how it reacts in a few hours."

Quadruple-chasing City, beaten at the same stage last year by Liverpool, were not at their slick best and Sergio Aguero's first-half penalty miss proved costly.

In the first-half, City had a gloriously chance to edge in front, but Aguero's spot kick was superbly saved by Lloris after VAR adjudged defender Danny Rose to have handled Raheem Sterling's shot.

BT Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas led the protests against the decision made by Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers and his assistants, with the former Spurs midfielder labelling it a "step in the wrong direction".

But Lloris believes that having turned the potential set-back into a force for good, Tottenham emerged re-energised after Aguero was denied from 12 yards.

When asked for his views on the penalty incident, the France international told BT Sport: "I didn't see but it's part of the game and we have to accept that.

"We stayed in the game, and I think it gave us even more energy. The crowd pushed us until the end and they deserved this result. It was a tough game and we rode our luck at times."

Lloris' stop from Aguero means he has saved all three penalties he has faced in 2019, having also denied Jamie Vardy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Premier League, against Leicester and Arsenal respectively.

When asked about Kane's injury, the Frenchman added: "Hopefully it's not too bad. You know the feeling when one of your best players leaves the field, but we stayed strong and Lucas [Moura] brought fresh energy when he came on."

Match-winner Son has now scored in back-to-back games for the first time since mid-February, and the South Korean has taken no time to get acclimatised in Tottenham's new ground.

He said: "Like everyone, I like this stadium. I'm so grateful to play here, and to have these team-mates and these great fans, I'm very grateful.

"We never gave up until the end of the 90 minutes. It was a difficult game, but we were more clinical than them."
