Tottenham Hotspur moved one step closer to ending their 17-year trophy drought with a commanding 2-0 victory in Norway’s Arctic Circle, completing a 4-0 aggregate win over Bodø/Glimt to secure their place in the Europa League final.
Despite warnings about the tricky artificial pitch and Bodø’s formidable home record, Ange Postecoglou’s men produced a rock-solid performance to silence the passionate Norwegian crowd.
After a resilient first half, Spurs broke the deadlock through Dominic Solanke’s 15th goal of the season in the 63rd minute. Pedro Porro then doubled their advantage six minutes later with a delightful cross-cum-shot that looped over goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.
The result sets up an all-English final against Manchester United in Bilbao, offering a silver lining to Tottenham’s disappointing Premier League campaign where they currently sit 16th in the table.
Postecoglou remains on track to fulfil his tradition of winning silverware in his second season at a club, with Spurs now just one victory away from their first trophy since 2008.
