Tottenham delivered a composed performance in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt, winning 3-1 to put one foot in the final.
Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke played pivotal roles in securing a potentially commanding three-goal lead to take to Norway.
However, a deflected strike from Ulrik Saltnes altered the tie’s momentum. Richarlison, deputizing for the injured captain Heung-min Son and preferred over Mathys Tel, set up the opener within the first minute, heading the ball across goal for Johnson to score.
Maddison doubled the advantage just before the break, finishing expertly after a perfectly timed run to meet Pedro Porro’s exquisite lofted pass.
The third goal came past the hour mark, with Solanke calmly converting a penalty to slot the ball into the net.
