Ange Postecoglou said his Tottenham Hotspur team are full of belief they can book their place in the Europa League final after defeating Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in the first leg.

Tottenham beat Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in their Europa League semi-final first leg in north London after a dominant display, which was slightly marred by Ulrik Saltnes’ late strike for the visitors. Spurs appeared to be cruising towards a comfortable victory before the midfielder’s deflected strike gave the Norwegian side a lifeline in the tie ahead of next Thursday’s decider.

Tottenham closed in on a place in the Europa League final after Brennan Johnson struck just 38 seconds into their 3-1 win against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.
