A 43rd-minute penalty from Dominic Solanke sent Tottenham through to the Europa League semi-finals with a 2-1 aggregate win over Eintracht Frankfurt to keep their season alive and ease the pressure on Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs were back in the last-chance saloon and up against it at Deutsche Bank Park after a 1-1 draw in the first leg last Thursday, but produced one of their best displays under Postecoglou to ensure his tenure goes on.

Maddison had to be replaced soon after by Dejan Kulusevski, but Tottenham survived six minutes of stoppage time before they came under siege at the start of the second period.

It was backs-to-the-wall now for Tottenham, but they stood firm to survive six minutes of stoppage time and delight their 2,800 travelling fans with big full-time celebrations as the club secured only its second European semi-final since they won the UEFA Cup in 1984.

Yilmaz, playing right wing-back, had to block a close-range shot from midfielder Sancet in the eighth minute before keeper Liam Kelly made a great save from Williams with another Sancet shot blocked, this time by skipper James Tavernier.

In the 36th minute Athletic attacker Alex Berenguer came close with a curling shot from 20 yards before Williams missed a sitter from eight yards after a cut-back from Sannadi.

Sancet then lofted a shot high over the bar with only Kelly to beat, and the Govan side escaped again – only for Souttar to concede penalty for a challenge on Sannadi and Sancet (above) sent Kelly the wrong way.
