Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur had one of the most ridiculous starts to a match in Champions League history, with five goals in 21 minutes
21 minutes is a record for the fastest 5 goals in a game in Champions League history. Previous record was 24 minutes: Dortmund v Legia Warsaw.

Tottenham Hotspur went into the Champions League quarter final second leg with a one goal advantage – but that didn’t last long as Raheem Sterling levelled things on aggregate, after just four minutes.
A frenetic start to this game! 🔥

But before anyone had a chance to breathe, Heung-min Sun pulled one back on seven minutes to make it 1-1. And then just three minutes after that, he scored his second, with this absolute beauty.
Football. Just Amazing.

But then Bernardo Silva got Manchester City’s second almost instantly. And then, after what felt like a barren ten minutes with no goals, Raheem Sterling got his second to make it 3-2.
