Football: Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 1 Bodø/Glimt

How costly could that late goal be for Tottenham Hotspur? The home side delivered one of their most assured displays of the campaign, leaving them just two matches away from ending a trophy drought that stretches back to 2008. Author - Greg S Ange Postecoglou’s side made a blistering start, taking the lead after just 38 seconds when Brennan Johnson nodded in from Richarlison’s cushioned header. James Maddison then doubled the advantage with a touch of class, bringing down Pedro Porro’s long pass and guiding the ball into the far corner with composure. Dominic Solanke added a third from the penalty spot, coolly converting after Cristian Romero had been brought down in the area. Bodo/Glimt, known for their high-tempo approach and eye-catching results in recent seasons, were largely second-best. Their only real moment of threat came when Ulrik Saltnes’ deflected strike flew past Rodrigo Bentancur and into the top corner. This was their sole effort on target. READ MORE: The story of To...

Tyreece Campbell strike earns Charlton Athletic narrow win over Cambridge United Campbell’s early goal proved decisive as Charlton Athletic edged out struggling Cambridge United 1-0 in their League One clash. Author - Greg S The Addicks hit the front with their very first meaningful attack after just 14 minutes. Campbell was afforded too much space down the left, cutting inside before driving a low shot beyond goalkeeper Jack Stevens. The Charlton forward nearly doubled his tally in similar fashion just 12 minutes later, but this time Stevens was equal to the effort, getting down smartly to make a strong save. Moments later, Campbell was involved again, slipping the ball to Matty Godden, whose strike rattled the far post with Stevens well beaten.

Football: Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 1 Eintracht Frankfurt

Tottenham were held by Frankfurt as Santos steals the show in Europa League tie They were held to a 1-1 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt, with visiting goalkeeper Kaua Santos delivering a stunning performance to keep the hosts at bay. Author - Greg S The Brazilian, deputising for the injured Kevin Trapp, produced a series of outstanding saves in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, frustrating Spurs throughout a breathless encounter. Frankfurt struck early through Hugo Ekitike, whose low drive in the sixth minute underlined why a number of Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old forward. The move came from a Spurs error in midfield, as James Maddison lost possession and Ellyes Skhiri found Ekitike in space. The Frenchman cut inside and picked his spot with precision, beating Guglielmo Vicario at the far post. Spurs responded with intent and gradually gained control. Their efforts were rewarded when Pedro Porro levelled the tie w...
