Tottenham Vs AZ: Odobert's Brace Helps Spurs Seal QFs Spot
In London, Wilson Odobert scored twice for Tottenham, which will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarterfinals. Spurs advanced 3-2 on aggregate. After a 1-0 loss away last week, Spurs got a 26th-minute goal from Odobert after high pressing forced a turnover. James Maddison doubled the lead on the night shortly after the break, which gave Spurs a one-goal advantage overall. But the Dutch team wasn’t done, and Peer Koopmeiners pounced on a defensive mistake just two minutes after center-back Micky van de Ven was subbed off and scored in the 63rd. The 20-year-old Odobert scored the vital goal in the 74th from close range after a backheel pass from Dominic Solanke to seal Spurs’ trip to the quarterfinals.
