Ange Euro stars get glimpse of glory

- NEIL MCLEMAN

PATHETIC in the Premier League, Europe extraordinary in And surely not even Tottenham will freeze in the Arctic Circle next week and fail to reach the Europa League final after earning a two-goal first-leg lead in balmy London last night.

Ange Postecoglou's side lost 5-1 at Liverpool on Sunday and face a playoff for 17th place with West Ham this weekend.

But the Aussie's attacking selection in this semi-final first leg saw Brennan Johnson and James Maddison score during a high-octane first half which showed the best of Angeball.

And Dominic Solanke's second-half penalty sealed the win to extend their unbeaten European home run to 20.
