Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou gets big calls right in huge Frankfurt win to extend Spurs tenure
Postecoglou may have rescued his Tottenham career in Frankfurt
Dominic Solanke’s penalty earned Tottenham a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League quarter-final decider to save Ange Postecoglou’s job and maintain their hopes of ending the season with silverware.
Solanke coolly converted from the spot in the 43rd-minute after goalkeeper Kaua Santos clattered James Maddison, and Spurs produced a spirited second-half rearguard to seal a 2-1 win on aggregate.
This result kept Spurs’ season alive and will change the narrative around Postecoglou, allowing the head coach to get back on the front foot after a spell in which he has appeared increasingly besieged by a run of poor results and the swirling speculation about his future.
