Dominic Solanke penalty Sends Spurs To Europa Semi Finals

Dominic Solanke penalty sent Tottenham to a 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt and also into the semi-finals of the Europa League 2-1 on aggregate.

With the pressure of the Premier League campaign as well as Ange Postecoglou’s job in disguise, Spurs players put in the type of controlled performance they have lacked this campaign.

However, Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike and Spurs’ Mathys Tel traded first-half chances, and home goalkeeper Kaua Santos’ nasty collision in the box with James Maddison brought Solanke to the spot.

Without a goal since January, Solanke made no mistake, giving Spurs the lead in front of Frankfurt’s raucous Nordwestkurve.

The win proved a stay of execution for Postecoglou, keeping alive Spurs’ chance of reaching the final in Bilbao along with the coach’s oft-maligned guarantee of winning a title in his second season at a club.

The loss ends Frankfurt’s hopes of returning to Spain to again lift the Europa League title, having done so three years ago in Seville.

Despite the defeat, Frankfurt sits third in the league and is on track for its best league finish since the mid-1990s.

With the club on track for their worst league finish in three decades, the Europa League was the final remaining chance for the Australian to make good on his promise of “always” winning trophies in his second season.

Spurs suffered a fresh setback the day before the match, with Son Heung-min ruled out of the trip with a foot injury.

In conclusion, Ange Postecoglou travelled to Germany knowing only victory would give him hope of staying in the job beyond the season.
