After a tentative first half, they clicked into gear after the break, creating enough chances to win the game easily and scoring twice more. Odobert scored his first two goals for Tottenham, producing his best ever display for the club. It was strikingly different from the flat performance in the first leg in the Netherlands last week.

Tottenham had plenty to celebrate - as well as a few trademark shaky moments - as they won a game of huge consequence. It gives boss Ange Postecoglou some breathing space for another month, with their games against Frankfurt on 10 and 17 April.
