Football: The pressure on Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has eased slightly after his side advanced to the Round of 16 in the Europa League, following a 3-0 win.
Tension eases as Spurs advance in Europa | 01:57Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham earned themselves some much needed a respite with a 3-0 win at home against Swedish side IF Elfsborg enough to finish in the top eight of the Europa League .
Debutant Damola Ajayi then endeared himself to the Tottenham faithful with the 18-year-old scoring the second goal with a lovely low finish after a one-two on the edge of the box in the 84th minute. Spurs finished one place behind English rivals Manchester United, who 2-0 away in Romania against FCSB, but they have gained automatic passage to the Round of 16, crucially avoiding a two-leg playoff next month which would have been an added strain on their injury hit squad.
Spurs were greeted by a yellow wall however, as their visitors defended strongly, clogging up the penalty area to prevent the hosts from taking advantage of any of their 12 shots on goal, or the 83% possession they had in the opening half.
