For Tottenham Hotspur the season remains alive. For Ange Postecoglou he fights on. It felt like it could – that it would – have been over for the head coach had they not over-turned a first-leg deficit to win this Europa League tie and earn a place in the last eight.

Wilson Odobert scores twice to save Tottenham's season as they overcome a first-leg deficit to beat AZ Alkmaar and reach the Europa League quarter-finals.

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.
