Tottenham star Son Heung-min left in tears on field as Man City win Carabao Cup final with late Laporte goal


TEARFUL Son Heung-min slumped to his knees and beat the Wembley turf in despair after Tottenham’s late misery in the Carling Cup final.

Aymeric Laporte headed an 82nd-minute winner in front of 8,000 fans to give Manchester City the first part of a possible Treble.

Spurs team-mates like Gareth Bale went over to console Son at the end.

And City defender Kyle Walker was among the other players to help out the South Korean superstar – eventually guiding Son off the field with his arms around him.

There was, though, no doubt who the daddy was during the earlier action as Son and Co were dominated by Pep Guardiola’s runaway Premier League leaders.

City lost 1-0 to Chelsea in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals at the same venue when supporters returned for the first-time.

And the pain of that defeat meant victory for City this Sunday was as sweet for them as it was bitter for Son.

Matchwinner Laporte told Sky Sports: “It’s very special for us after we lost in the FA Cup.

” [We needed] to get confidence and keep going.

“In the last two months we have been so good. We have to keep this rhythm, to win more titles.

“We are so happy to see our supporters back.

“I wish there could have been more, but we are so happy to have their support.”

Etihad chief Guardiola said: “It’s not full [in the stadium] but it was a great noise [from the supporters].

“Today we are incredibly happy that we have four in a row in this competition.

“We tried to win the game, created a lot of chances.

“They had some chances on the counter but in general we had a good game.”
