Tottenham have experienced the highs and lows of Cup football on Wednesday against Manchester City.

Ange Postecoglou’s men grabbed a vital lead over the hosts on Wednesday within five minutes through unlikely scorer Timo Werner.

The German striker, who has faced heavy criticism this season, finally bagged his first of the season after a brilliant curling assist from Dejan Kulusevki.

However, their ecstasy was brought down to earth 10 minutes later.

Postecoglou was forced into an early substitution when Micky van de Ven pulled up with an apparent hamstring injury.

The Dutchman headed straight down the tunnel in tears as Destiny Udogie replaced him.

But the hosts returned to good feeling soon after when Pape Matar Sarr curled a shot into the bottom corner to put Spurs up 2-0 before the half-hour mark.
