Ange Postecoglou say his players have never lost belief in his methods as Tottenham reached the Europa League semi-finals. A superb performance in Frankfurt secured a 1-0 away win, and a 2-1 victory on aggregate, to set up a semi-final with Bodo/Glimt next month.

Maddison went down in the 38th minute of Spurs’ 1-0 victory (3-2 on aggregate) in Germany, following a collision with Santos which saw the visitors awarded a penalty. The midfielder attempted to run onto a long ball by Cristian Romero, when the onrushing goalkeeper mistimed his challenge, his torso clashing with the head of Maddison.
