Tottenham Hotspur secured their place in the Europa League quarterfinals with an aggregate 3-2 victory over AZ Alkmaar. This came after they triumphed 3-1 against AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of the round-of-16 clash, which took place in London on Thursday.
The outcome of Spurs' season was largely dependent on their ability to reverse a 1-0 deficit against AZ Alkmaar. This encounter marked the third time the two teams faced each other in this year's tournament.
Fortunately for Spurs, they were able to achieve this feat. Wilson Odobert, a young French player who joined the club in August, played a crucial role by scoring two goals, which were his first for the club.
Odobert opened the scoring in the 26th minute after a poor clearance by AZ's Wouter Goes and the hosts moved ahead on aggregate three minutes after the break when Son Heung-Min set up James Maddison for a side-footed finish into the corner.
AZ were gifted a way back in to the tie in the 63rd minute when Peer Koopmeiners took advantage of a defensive error to fire a shot past Guglielmo Vicario.
But Odobert struck again in the 74th minute to ease the home jitters, finishing off a flowing Tottenham attack down the left from close range.
In the quarterfinals, Spurs will face Eintracht Frankfurt, who eased to a 6-2 aggregate win over Ajax Amsterdam after a 4-1 home victory in which Mario Götze scored twice.
