After a tentative first half, they clicked into gear after the break, creating enough chances to win the game easily and scoring twice more. Odobert scored his first two goals for Tottenham, producing his best ever display for the club. It was strikingly different from the flat performance in the first leg in the Netherlands last week.

Spurs showed a good attitude in the second leg and scored from their first chance. Son blocked a clearance and Solanke squared unselfishly for Odobert to net his first goal since his £25m move from Burnley in the summer.

Tottenham delivered under huge pressure to beat AZ Alkmaar 3-1 and reach the Europa League quarter-finals. Ange Postecoglou’s side knew their season was on the line in north London, with this competition their last hope of ending the campaign in successful fashion.
