Tottenham Advances to Europa League Semis After Solanke's Penalty

Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals after defeating Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 in the second leg, securing a 2-1 aggregate win. Dominic Solanke scored the decisive penalty, awarded following a VAR review after Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos fouled James Maddison. Spurs displayed defensive resilience, with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero earning praise for their efforts in neutralizing Frankfurt’s attack. The victory relieves some pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou, whose job had been under scrutiny due to a disappointing Premier League campaign. The result sparked euphoric celebrations among players and fans, as Tottenham now look ahead to a semifinal clash with Bodø/Glimt, keeping hopes alive for European silverware. Frankfurt, meanwhile, lamented the penalty decision and missed opportunities but remain on course for a strong domestic finish.
