LONDON - Ange Postecoglou's bid to end Tottenham Hotspur's long trophy drought is delicately poised, after a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final, first leg on April 10.

Postecoglou's troubled side trailed to Hugo Ekitike's early goal in north London, but Pedro Porro hauled them level before half-time. Tottenham laid siege to the Frankfurt goal in the second half, but could not find a winner after hitting the woodwork twice.

The result means under-fire Tottenham boss Postecoglou must mastermind a memorable victory in the second leg in Germany on April 17, to keep alive his hopes of winning their first trophy since the 2008 League Cup.

"It was disappointing to concede the way we did. The biggest blow we had was conceding so early. That kind of played into their hands," Postecoglou said.
