Daniel Levy has to get his next appointment right, having sacked Ange Postecoglou two weeks after ending the club’s long trophy drought. Daniel Levy really is as ruthless as we thought, sacking Postecoglou two weeks after delivering on his promise of winning a major trophy.

This Means More. Crystal Palace's FA Cup win will mean more to the club, their fans, players and staff than victory could ever have meant for Manchester City, much as Pep Guardiola and his players felt unlucky to lose. This victory, confirmed by Eberechi Eze's goal in the 16th minute, was not only history in the making for Palace, their first major trophy in 164 years, but possibly the start of a bright new future for one of London's less glamorous clubs.

Palace and Eze prep for FA Cup final by downing Spurs

1 month ago | irishexaminer.com | Gerry Cox

Crystal Palace had the perfect dress rehearsal for next week's FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley by leaving another north London stadium with three points for the first time in 10 seasons. Eberechi Eze scored two goals, one each side of half-time, to end a run of nine successive defeats at Tottenham, who were unrecognisable from the side that won their Europa League semi-final against Bodo Glimt 72 hours earlier.

It was not as dramatic as that night in Amsterdam exactly six years ago – nothing could be - but a Tottenham team in green did enough to fight their way into another European final. In 2019, Lucas Moura scored a dramatic second-half hat-trick as Spurs came from 3-0 down to beat Ajax and reach the Champions League final.

Tottenham have one foot in the final of the Europa League, which is likely to be against Manchester United, but nothing can be taken for granted with a tricky away leg to come on Bodo Glimt's plastic pitch next Thursday. Brennan Johnson, James Madison and a Dominic Solanke penalty gave Tottenham a three-goal lead after an hour, but they allowed Ulrik Saltnes to score a late goal with Bodo Glimt's only shot on target, which gives the Norwegians hope going into next week's second leg.

Anything Arsenal can do, Spurs can do too. Dominic Solanke scored his first goal in 12 games to take Tottenham and their beleaguered manager Ange Postecoglou into the semi-finals of the Europa League, just a day after north London rivals Arsenal advance to the last four of the Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur overcame a shocking start to keep their hopes of silverware alive with a hard-fought draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. The German side took the lead through hotshot Hugo Ekitike after five minutes to threaten more misery for Ange Postecoglou and his men, but Spurs show great spirit to equalise through Pedro Porro and dominate the game.
