This promised to be an Arctic roll-over for Tottenham Hotspur, but Ange Postecoglou’s team left the door open for their Norwegian opponents to keep the club’s Jekyll-and-Hyde season on a knife edge.

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.

It was a near-perfect night in north London, until Spurs gave up an 83rd-minute goal to make things nervy ahead of the second leg in Norway next week.
