Tottenham Hotspur secured a spot in the Europa League semi-finals with a narrow and dramatic 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt courtesy of Dominic Solanke’s first goal in three months.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have endured a dismal domestic campaign and were dealt another blow by Wolves between the two legs of this quarter-final tie, but bounced back with a strong defensive performance amid a hostile atmosphere in Germany.

They came into this tie after a 1-1 home draw and clung on by the skin of their teeth after Solanke put them ahead from the spot in the 42nd minute.

The visitors were awarded a penalty when James Maddison - who was withdrawn shortly before half-time - was brought down by a reckless challenge by goalkeeper Kaua Santos. The youngster was the hero of last week’s tie but could not replicate his heroics at home as Solanke waited for him to dive the wrong way before coolly slotting down the middle.

Tottenham face the winner of Lazio versus Bodo/Glimt, with that quarter-final heading to extra time after the Italian side fought back from 2-0 down in the first leg to finish 2-2 down in normal time in the second leg.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham

4 mins: Early let-off for Spurs as Ekitike makes a lovely run into the box, with plenty of white shirts in the area, but the ball falls to Brown and he shoots tamely straight at Vicario.

Johnson gives away a free-kick in a very dangerous area. Gotze curls in a good delivery but Romero heads it behind.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham

2 mins: Spurs need to be careful of Eintracht Frankfurt’s pace and ability on the counter, especially after being robbed of possession so early on in the opening leg, leading to Ekitike’s goal.

Van de Ven brings Ekitike to ground in a tangle of legs, but no foul is given.
