United looked the more likely to get the sixth goal, and force a penalty shootout, until Son stepped up to take a corner in the 88th minute.

His looping effort really should not have beaten stand-in keeper Altay Bayindir, who weakly claimed Lucas Bergvall had blocked him, but it was still a brilliant piece of skill from the Spurs captain.

Did he mean it? Neither he, or Ange Postecoglou, will care as Spurs booked a semi-final date with Liverpool, and moved a step closer to ending their 17-year trophy drought.
