Wilson Odobert scored twice to save Tottenham Hotspur's season as they overcame a first-leg deficit to beat AZ Alkmaar and set up a Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Sitting 13th in the Premier League and out of both domestic cups, this competition is Spurs' only remaining chance of success - but they lost 1-0 in the first leg last week in the Netherlands.

Odobert opened the scoring with his first goal for the club when Dominic Solanke picked him out in space to fire into the top corner, before James Maddison gave Tottenham the lead in the tie early in the second half.

Spurs gifted AZ an aggregate equaliser, with a mix-up between Odobert and Lucas Bergvall allowing Peer Koopmeiners to drill home, but Odobert made amends by finishing off a fantastic team move.
