Disciplined Spurs get the job done to book Bilbao spot

1 week ago | irishexaminer.com | Gerry Cox

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.

Spurs tune up for Frankfurt but Saints drop with a whimper

Southampton went out with a whimper rather than a bang as relegation was confirmed by defeat at Tottenham, who face a far tougher test on Thursday when Eintracht Frankfurt visit for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. Southampton can no longer catch Wolves in 17th place, and this return to the Championship after just one season back in the Premier League is no surprise.
Chelsea do enough as Spurs' Ange era turns ever more sour

There was a time when Chelsea against Tottenham was a high-octane game with titles at stake, but it is a sign of how these sides have fallen that last night's London derby was a tepid, low grade affair, decided by a goal from Enzo Fernandez, a rare moment of quality in combination with the returning Cole Palmer.

WILSON ODOBERT was the unlikely hero as Tottenham progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, scoring twice in a 3-1 win that relieved the pressure on Ange Postecoglou. On a night billed as win-or-bust for Postecoglou and his side, they overcame a 1-0 deficit from the first leg last week to win 3-1, with a James Maddison strike in between Odobert's first two goals for Tottenham.

Ange Postecoglou lives to fight another day, as Spurs showed some of the fighting spirit they have lacked in recent weeks to come back from 2-0 down to hold Bournemouth, who were ultimately frustrated as they chase a place in Europe. Leading by two goals with 25 minutes to play, and the better side from the start, Andoni Iraola said it was “a missed opportunity” for his men, while Postecoglou can reflect on his positive second-half substitutions sparking a Spurs resurgence.
