Tottenham Hotspur defeats Bodo/Glimt 3-1, nears Europa League final

Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, keeping alive their hopes of salvaging a disappointing season with a major trophy and Champions League qualification. Brennan Johnson set a record for the fastest goal in a Europa League semi-final, with James Maddison and Dominic Solanke also scoring to give Spurs a strong advantage ahead of the second leg. Although Bodo/Glimt pulled one goal back, Tottenham's dominant performance has put them in a favorable position to reach the final, potentially against Manchester United. Ange Postecoglou expressed satisfaction with his team's display and downplayed injury concerns for Maddison and Solanke, describing their issues as minor. Despite the club's Premier League struggles and speculation about Postecoglou's future, the team remains united behind the manager as they look to end a long trophy drought. The upcoming away leg poses challenges, but Spurs' European home form has been a bright spot amid an otherwise tough campaign.
