Manchester City Ban Opens the Door for Tottenham Hotspur as Son Heung-min Strikes Late Winner at Aston Villa

Birmingham: Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho believes Manchester City's two-season ban from the Champions League has opened the door for a host of teams to qualify for next season's competition.

Mourinho's men moved up to fifth in the Premier League -- which could be enough to secure Champions League football should City's appeal against the ban fail -- thanks to Son Heung-min's stoppage time winner to beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Sunday.

Spurs are also now just one point behind Mourinho's old club Chelsea, who they face at Stamford Bridge next weekend.
