Maybe Ange Postecoglou’s luck has finally turned? Having complained that the football gods were against him last week, Dominic Solanke’s penalty after an intervention from the video assistant referee – another of the Tottenham manager’s pet peeves – was enough to seal progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Postecoglou may have regretted his decision to point out back in September after a defeat to Arsenal that he “always” wins trophies in his second year at a club. But after their north London rivals eased past the might of Real Madrid 24 hours earlier, Spurs also still have something to hang on to in a season that has otherwise been filled with disappointment.
