by Tottenham defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 in her quarter -finals of the Europa League to meet a meeting with Lazio or Bodo/Glimt in the past four years and to facilitate the pressure on head coach Ver Posteclou.
Dominic Solanke converted the winner Kühl from the penalty point in the first half after James Maddison was rattled by goalkeeper Kaua Santos.
Spurs had the chances of doubleing their leadership in the second half, and Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur were both close to the heads, but had to withstand a late barrage from the hosts who missed a number of opportunities to win the game.
So we rated the Spurs players …
Guglielmo Vicario 8
Made a clever late save to refuse the chandi tariffs and keep the lead.
Pedro Porro 7
Its set pieces were quality, including corners, which led to great opportunities for Romero and Bentancur.
Cristian Romero 8
A number of Frankfurt attacks failed and his brave death was a capital.
Micky van de Ven 8
Saved his team’s skin when he returned to challenge Hugo Ekikats in the first half. Made several important interventions.
Fate Udogie 7
In possession of it and appeared in some dangerous positions in the last third to justify his selection in front of Djed Spence. However, it was beaten in the air for a number of crosses.
Rodrigo Bentancur 7
Wiped well at the base of the midfield. Go a great chance for 2-0 from Porros corner.
Lucas Bergvall 7
Not in his bravest or most dynamic, but to midfield and was defensive.
James Maddison 6
Won the punishment after being rattled by Santos, but could not go on. Before the goal, had grown in influence after a slow start.
Brennan Johnson 6
Offered a limited threat in the last third, created a good chance for Mathys Tel in the first half and has been well linked to Kulusevski.
Mathys Tel 7
Probably produces his lively appearance for the club, which justifies his selection. Tested Santos with a 25-yard drive and seemed to let things happen.
Dominic Solanke 7
Coolly sent the spot kick for his first goal in 12 games. Insolated Bnut often worked relentlessly as usual.

Looked rusted, but was a threat to the counterattack in the second half and kept the ball high.
Pape Matar Sarr (Tel. 79 ‘) 6
For Frankfurt’s late rush, some fresh legs have been added to the midfield.
Kevin Danso (Johnson 85 ‘) 7
