Social media reacts to astonishing first half of Man City vs Spurs

Nobody saw this coming!

In what was the most incredible first half of football this season, Manchester City and Tottenham scored five goals between them in 21 minutes.

It was always expected to be an incredible game at the Etihad this evening.

Tottenham had a 1-0 aggregate lead after the first leg in London and Pep Guardiola’s side had to score to get back into the tie.

With the attacking talent City have, it was always going to be difficult for Spurs to stand strong.

However, no one quite expected what would follow that first leg when the two met again on Wednesday evening.

Rolling with the punches

It all started when Raheem Sterling scored the first goal of the game in the 4th minute of the game.

After some brilliant work from Kevin De Bruyne, Sterling curled a brilliant shot into the bottom corner making it 1-1 on aggregate.
