Solanke keeps his cool to seal vital win for Postecoglou

Maybe Ange Postecoglou's luck has finally turned? Having complained that the football gods were against him last week, Dominic Solanke's penalty after an intervention from the video assistant referee - another of the Tottenham manager's pet peeves - was enough to seal progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Postecoglou may have regretted his decision to point out back in September after a defeat to Arsenal that he "always" wins trophies in his second year at a club. But after their north London rivals ease past the might of Real Madrid 24 hours earlier, Spurs also still have something to hang on to in a season that has otherwise been filled with disappointment.

A showdown with Bodø/Glimt or Lazio awaits in the last four after this dogged display against an Eintracht Frankfurt side who could not break down a disciplined Tottenham defence. Solanke had not scored since 4 January - a run of 12 matches - but there were unbridled celebrations in the away end when he stroked home the decisive spot-kick just before half-time and at the full-time whistle after more than five minutes of injury time.
