Postecoglou gave Dominic Solanke, who scored the decisive goal, a huge hug, while the rest of the squad lapped up the applause from the fans. It is the first time they have been united in months and Postecoglou had a rare smile etched across his face. That Spurs won without their injured captain, Son Heung-min, makes it even more impressive.

Ange Postecoglou hopes that Tottenham's Europa League win over Eintracht Frankfurt will prove a significant turning point for the club but warned the result will count for nothing if they do not follow it up against Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals.
