Tottenham closed in on a place in the Europa League final after Brennan Johnson struck just 38 seconds into their 3-1 win against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.
Johnson’s quick-fire opener was followed by James Maddison’s strike before the interval in the semi-final first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Dominic Solanke’s second-half penalty should have been the end of the tie.
But a late goal from Ulrik Saltnes ensured the second leg on May 8 will be a nervous occasion for beleaguered Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou will also have to sweat on the fitness of Solanke and Maddison after both limped off with injuries.
If Tottenham can get the job done in Norway, they will face Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao in the final on May 21, with the tournament winners qualifying for the Champions League next season.
