Tottenham Came From Behind To Secure A Quarterfinal Entry In The Europa League Defeating Az Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar headed England to defend their one-goal advantage that the Dutch team failed to do and get knocked from the round of 16 with a 3-2 aggregate scoreline, giving a tough challenge for the North London club in UEL. Tottenham Hotspurs will now face Eintracht Frankfurt next month at home in the QF.
Wilson Odobert Become the Trump card For Tottenham in The Game
Postecoglou played a gamble by starting Wilson Odobert, which turned out to be the best step as the Frenchman scored his first brace for his team to secure a comeback in the last quarter of the match. The winger now has 2 goals in all competitions, putting his name in the club’s scoresheet for the first time.
The first goal came from a mistake of AZ's right back who missed to clear the ball that Donimic Solanke received and sent to Odobert, and he opened the score for his team. Maddison scored the second, playing a one-two with Son before finishing that gave the lead in the aggregate score with 2-1 just after half time.

AZ Fight Back But Failed to Get their Desired Result
AZ came back in the game with an equaliser scored by Koopmeiners that gave a space for fight for both teams. This time, a wrong pass attempt by Bergvall created the scope for Koopmeiners that the Dutch player utilized to make a level in the game.
Finally, Odobart stepped up, and again Solanke gave the final ball to him which gave relief for Postecoglou and his team. A tremendous attack made from the left wing and Solanke gave a backheel pass to the center that Odobart tapped into the goal. Postecoglou said this win was deserved in the home and now Tottenham will look forward to the next round.
