Spurs showed a good attitude in the second leg and scored from their first chance. Son blocked a clearance and Solanke squared unselfishly for Odobert to net his first goal since his £25m move from Burnley in the summer.

After a tentative first half, they clicked into gear after the break, creating enough chances to win the game easily and scoring twice more. Odobert scored his first two goals for Tottenham, producing his best ever display for the club. It was strikingly different from the flat performance in the first leg in the Netherlands last week.

For Tottenham Hotspur the season remains alive. For Ange Postecoglou he fights on. It felt like it could – that it would – have been over for the head coach had they not over-turned a first-leg deficit to win this Europa League tie and earn a place in the last eight.

Ange Postecoglou spoke to the media at Stadium after our 3-1 win against AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, second leg, on Thursday evening, taking us through to a quarter-final clash in April against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 on aggregate.

Ange Postecoglou said it is "no coincidence" that his side are improving now they have some key players back from injury, following their win over AZ Alkmaar.

Ange Postecoglou says he stands by his comment about "always" winning a trophy in his second season and suggested his words have been twisted by his critics "for their own purposes". Postecoglou's Tottenham face a fight to keep their hopes of silverware for the campaign alive in Thursday's Europa League last-16 decider against AZ Alkmaar.
