Tottenham 3-1 AZ Alkmaar result - Wilson Odobert double sees Spurs secure UEFA Europa League quarter-final spot

Wilson Odobert scored a glorious double as Totteenham completed a 3-1 home win over AZ Alkmaar to set up a UEFA Europa League quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Trailing 1-0 from last week's first leg in the Netherlands, Ange Postecoglou's side assumed control of a tight affair with Odobert punishing some slack defending to convert Dominic Solanke's pass on 26 minutes before James Maddison glided a lovely second into the net from captain Son Heung-min's pass on 48 minutes.

But just when it looked like Tottenham would finish off the visitors, some poor defending by Lucas Bergvall and Odobert enabled Peer Koopmeiners to level the tie with a superb, thumping effort on 63 minutes.

To their credit, Spurs refused to panic and just about got the win they deserved when Odobert completed a 3-2 aggregate victory as he swept the ball into the net on 74 minutes after Solanke had flicked on a Djed Spence cross.

They will probably need to improve to trouble Frankfurt, who swept aside Ajax 4-1 earlier on Thursday to complete a 6-2 aggregate victory, but at least they got the victory they craved.

"Tottenham had some positive moments, some difficult moment," said the former England goalkeeper on TNT Sports. "If they want to go further in this competition they're going to need a more complete performance.

"It was all about tonight, scoring those vital goals, staying in the tie and winning the game."

A 3-1 victory for Spurs on the night. They win 3-2 on aggregate. Was far from easy, but they get the job done. They are through to the quarter-finals to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the last eight.

Wasn't easy for Kees Smit on the volley, and he ends up lifting the ball into the side netting on the volley. AZ piling it on here. Four minutes added to the 90.

Suddenly all the red shirts are camped in the Tottenham half as Vicario is off his line to gather a high ball. Kristijan Belic replaces Wouter Goes for the visitors, who are trying to force extra-time.

Ben Davies replaces Lucas Bergvall, who is forced off with injury. No bookings tonight. Oddly enough.

But easier said than done as substitute Mexx Meerdink has a free header, but mistimes the finish and the ball is well over the bar.

Vicario with an excellent stop to keep out the effort from Parrott before Mees de Wit sees his shot bundled over on the rebound. Phew! Still 3-1 to Spurs.

Brennan Johnson replaces Wilson Odobert and Yves Bissouma is on for James Maddison.

Need another goal to make life a bit easier in the closing moments and looks like there are changes coming here.

Brilliant sweeping move from Spurs as they regain the two-goal advantage. Stunning move from deep. Son to Spence via Solanke on the overlap and the cross is buried by Odobert. 3-2 now on aggregate.

"There's always been that threat in the game," said the former Spurs goalkeeper on TNT Sports. "No matter how well Tottenham are playing, they look like they can shoot themselves in the foot.

"It is calamitous really, and really slack.

"Peers Koopmeiners rifles it into the net."

Kees Smit replaces Zico Buurmeester for the visiting side, who are right in the hunt here for a shock comeback.

This could get very nervy for the Spurs fans in the closing moments. Tottenham have failed to put this match to bed and are living on the edge at the back. Was Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert who gave up the ball for the AZ goal.

All the goals have come from players giving up cheap possession tonight. Trying to beat the press is okay as long as you beat it. Not sure Spurs even paid attention to Koopmeiners as he raced onto the ball.

Awful defending by Spurs at the back. Caught messing about in defence and Peer Koopmeiners races onto the loose ball to drill a fabulous shot into the corner of the net. What a gift! Back to 2-2 now.
