Tottenham in sight of Europa League final after win over Bodo/Glimt
LONDON -- Tottenham Hotspur put aside their woeful domestic season with a 3-1 home victory against Norway's Bodo/Glimt leaving them within sight of the Europa League final on Thursday.
Brennan Johnson's headed goal inside the opening minute paved the way for Ange Postecoglou's Premier League strugglers and James Maddison doubled their lead with a smart finish in the 34th minute after controlling a long pass.
Dominic Solanke's cooly-taken 61st minute penalty, given for a foul by Fredrik Sjovold on Cristian Romero, put the hosts completely in control of the semi-final.
Bodo/Glimt, the first Norwegian club to reach a European semi-final, did not manage a shot on target for the first 83 minutes but there was a late twist as captain Ulrik Saltnes's deflected effort gave them hope for next week's second leg on their artificial pitch inside the Arctic Circle.
