Tottenham season on life support as Ange Postecoglou is handed fresh concern ahead of Europa League decider
Tottenham’s attacking players failed to deliver on a big night, but there is room for optimism ahead of next week’s Europa League quarter-final second leg
Tottenham came from behind to draw 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on a frustrating night for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Hugo Ekitike’s strike after just six minutes made it a nightmare start for the hosts but Pedro Porro levelled midway through the first half with a brilliant first-time flick.
Postecoglou’s side were much-improved from a series of limp showings in the Premier League and did enough to win the game comfortably, with Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur both striking the crossbar in the second half and Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos making a string of smart saves.
