Bodo/Glimt 0-2 Tottenham (1-5 agg): Player ratings as Spurs secure chance to end 17-year trophy drought

Tottenham will contest their first continental final in six years after successful seeing off Bodo/Glimt in the last four of this season’s Europa League.
Much was made before kick-off over whether Spurs would be able to see things through, leading 3-1 from the first leg but confronted with a trip inside the Arctic Circle and playing on an artificial surface.
But Ange Postecoglou, seeking to maintain a career record of always delivering a trophy in his second season at every club he’s been at, watched his side ultimately extend their advantage.
A goal-less first half in Norway in which Bodo/Glimt had more of the ball and more attempts, was followed by a second period in which Dominic Solanke converted from close-range at a corner and Pedro Porro spectacularly fired in from a wide angle outside the box in quick succession.
Manchester United await on 21 May in an all-English final in the city of Bilbao.
