Tottenham booked their place in a Europa League Final against Manchester United on May 21 with a 2-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in their semi-final decider in Norway.
Leading 3-1 from last week’s first leg in London, second-half goals from Dominic Solanke and Pedro Porro ensured Spurs will face Ruben Amorim’s side in an all-English final in Bilbao.
Here’s how we rated the Spurs players at Aspmyra…
Guglielmo Vicario 7
Kept out Patrick Berg’s first-half free-kick with a one-handed save. Dithered over every goal-kick, prompting howls and whistles from home fans, and was eventually booked in the 66th minute.
Pedro Porro 8
Surely did not mean his goal but provided much-needed creativity and impetus in the absence of James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall. Went close to an opener with a 20-yard free-kick which was well-saved.
Cristian Romero 8
Made the opening goal with a nod down for Solanke and unflustered defensively in an assured display.
Micky van de Ven 8
Made some big tackles in a no-nonsense display.
Destiny Udogie 8
Produced another good showing from left-back, full of intelligent overlapping runs.
Rodrigo Bentancur 7
Mopped up well in front of the back four and used the ball well. Occasionally caught out by lingering too long on the ball.
Yves Bissouma 7
Raised his game again in a composed performance. Drove forward with the ball when possible and sprayed some nice passes about.
Dejan Kulusevski 5
Still not does not look back to his best. His touch was clunky and he was shrugged out of challenges he might normally have won. But put in a shift as usual.
Brennan Johnson 5
Noticeably more defensive than usual and barely had a meaningful touch in attacking areas.
Richarlison 6
Pressed well from the front in an energetic hour run out. Had an early effort blocked.
Dominic Solanke 8
Showed a poacher’s instinct to open the scoring. Held up the ball and constantly unsettled the Glimt back line with his relentless pressing.
Subs
Mathys Tel (Richarlison 61’) 7
Immediately made an impact by swinging in the corner for the opening goal.
Pape Matar Sarr (Johnson 68’) 7
Helped Spurs to see out a big win for the final 20 minutes in a lively cameo.
Not used: Austin, Whiteman, Danso, Gray, Spence, Odobert, Davies.
