Tottenham deliver for Ange Postecoglou but late twist is a warning for what’s to come

Right then, how tricky is this artificial pitch? What kind of ice storm could Bodo/Glimt summon for the arrival of Tottenham next week? Because the underdogs from the edge of the Arctic Circle are going to need as hostile an environment as possible if they are to turn this Europa League semi-final around. In the first leg, Spurs made full use of their home advantage: a resounding 3-1 win, only dampened by a late deflected strike by Bodo’s stand-in captain Ulrik Saltnes, has Tottenham with one foot in the final and brought a smile to the face of Ange Postecoglou.
