Spurs beat Bodo to set up silverware salvage mission
The Independent
|May 09, 2025
Tottenham remain on course to end their 17-year trophy drought and to win silverware in Ange Postecoglou’s second season after a 2-0 win at Bodo/Glimt sent them through to the Europa League final.
Bodo/Glimt 0
Tottenham Hotspur Solanke (63), Porro (69) Won 5-1 on aggregate 2
Spurs held a two-goal lead after last week’s first leg in north London, but had been warned to expect a stern examination on Bodo’s notoriously difficult artificial surface in the Arctic Circle.
A firework display welcomed both teams onto the Aspmyra Stadion pitch, but Postecoglou watched his team produce a masterful defensive display in the first half before they struck twice in the second period.
Dominic Solanke made the breakthrough after 63 minutes with his 15th goal of the season, before a cross-cum-shot from Pedro Porro six minutes later all but assured Tottenham of a place in the final in Bilbao.
