Thu May 01 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Tottenham Edge Closer to Trophy Despite Domestic Struggles

**London, England** – Tottenham Hotspur, enduring their worst domestic season in decades, secured a crucial victory in their UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final first leg against Bodo/Glimt. Despite sitting 16th in the Premier League, a trophy would not only end a 17-year silverware drought but also secure a Champions League spot for next season.

Manager Ange Postecoglou’s side overcame a late concession to win 3-1, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke. The victory leaves Tottenham on the brink of a fourth appearance in a major European final, following their successes in the UEFA Cup in 1972 and 1984.
