Tottenham Hotspur: D L W L L

Bodo/Glimt: W L D W W

Spurs, missing the talismanic Heung-min Son, made a number of changes to their playing squad, but decisions stick out. Firstly, Lucas Bergvall is not even on the bench, despite playing 90 minutes against Liverpool. And, even more weirdly, Richarlison gets a starting berth... in the left wing.

Big calls from Ange Postecoglou, these, as his Spurs job may well and truly depend on tonight's results.

The referee blows his whistle, and we are underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! Stay tuned for key events from the match.

TOT 0-0 BOD (0')

What. A. Start. Barely 40 seconds after kick-off, Spurs get an early lead as Brennan Johnson meets a headed pass from winger Richarlison after a terrific ball from Pedro Porro, and heads it home past Haikin from close range.

Johnson's opener is the fastest-ever goal in UEFA Europa League semi-final history. Wow.

TOT 1-0 BOD (1')

Spurs have dominated the game since the early goal, and Richarlison comes forward again, this time feeding Udogie, but the Italian can't put a cross inside the box. Maddison's ball inside the penalty area falls to Van de Ven, who can't keep his header down.

Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt haven't been able to make any sort of attacking move yet, and the Tottenham defenders are not looking too worried at the moment.

TOT 1-0 BOD (12')

Bodo/Glimt get a look in at Vicario's goal, and it comes from a free-kick routine. A lifted ball into the box does not cause any problem on the Italian's goal, but he somehow fails to collect the ball first time. No Glimt players are in the box to make it count though.

Spurs are wasteful with their own chances, with Maddison failing to make the final ball count. A second goal does not look likely at the moment.

TOT 1-0 BOD (22')

Dominic Solanke is played down the left side with a lobbed through ball, but two defenders swamp the English striker. He shows unselfishness by passing it back to the onrushing Destiny Udogy, but the Italian opts for a first-time volley which flies way high.

TOT 1-0 BOD (30')

A fantastic ball from Pedro Porro is finds the fantastic run of James Madisson, who takes it down with a brilliant first touch, and then finishes past the goalkeeper and two Glimt defenders to see the ball creep into the bottom corner. Spurs are two goals up with just half-an-hour of football player.

TOT 2-0 BOD (34')

Bodo/Glimt fail to clear the ball in the box, and it falls to Rodrigo Bentancur. The Uruguayan takes the ball on his chest and volleys it first time, and it goes with rocket pace towards the top corner. Nikita Haikin, who saw the shot quite late, reacted quickly and was at full stretch to keep it out.

In doing so, Haikin seemed to have hurt his finger, and was down for a minute before continuing with the corner.

TOT 2-0 BOD (38')

The fourth official indicated a minimum of two minutes of added time to be played.

Bodo/Glimt are enjoying a spell of posession in the midfield, but no real threat on Vicario's goal at the moment.

TOT 2-0 BOD (45')

It's half-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and there was a half-chacne for Bodo/Glimt in added time. A terrific cross from Maatta down the right flank is met by Blomberg in the box, but his touch is heavy and the ball flies over the goal, but Vicario was angry at his defence.

TOT 2-0 BOD (HT)

The second half is underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with both teams making one change at half-time.

Richarlison OUT

Brede Mathias Moe IN

Villads Nielsen OUT

TOT 2-0 BOD (45')

The match has been a bit flat since the restart, with Spurs's managing to go forward with corners, but to no effect. Maddison's deliveries are perfect, but the Spurs' players can't get any bit of contact with their heads.

The visitors, despite posing no goal threat yet, are enjoying most of the posession at the moment.

TOT 2-0 BOD (52')

Sjovold and Romero both jump to challenge for a high-ball, and the defender's leg catches Romeo's trailing leg, and there's a huge penalty shout. VAR sends the referee to the monitor, and it's an easy decision. PENALTY!

TOT 2-0 BOD (58')

There was simply no doubt in Solanke's run-up, and he stops and stutters before passing the ball towards the left side, sending Haikin the wrong way.

TOT 3-0 BOD (61')

A couple of changes, as James Maddison goes off with an apparent knock, and Bodo/Glimt also make a substitution.

Dejan Kulusevski IN

James Maddison OUT

Sondre Auklend IN

Isak Dybvik Maatta OUT

TOT 3-0 BOD (65')

Spurs are threatening to go and get a fourth goal with bursts of attacking play, and Solanke almost gets a second with his strike, but Gundersen puts it behind for a corner. Romero gets a nice rising header from the set-piece, but it flows wide past the far post.

TOT 3-0 BOD (69')

Dominic Solanke walks off gingerly, and Postecoglou will not be enjoying his two attacking threats going off with knocks. Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt also have a couple of changes of their own.

Wilson Odobert IN

Dominic Solanke OUT

Jeppe Kjaer, Sondre Sorli IN

Fredrik Sjovold, Sondre Brustad Fet OUT

TOT 3-0 BOD (77')

A lifeline for Bodo/Glimt!! A huge goal in the context of the tie, and it's the skipper who turns up when it mattered. A good ball from Jeppe Kjaer is received by Ulruk Saltnes, and the veteran spins and dribbles around Romero and Spence to hit it towards the far post, anda huge deflection off Bentancur sends it to the bottom corner.

TOT 3-1 BOD (83')

The fourth official holds up his board, and we will have a minimum of five minutes added on. Bodo/Glimt are on the front foot at the moment.

TOT 3-1 CHE (90')

It's all over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Ange Postecoglou will be in mixed mood tonight. On one hand, it has been a big win for his side, but they failed to keep a clean sheet and allowed Bodo/Glimt, who have a history of home-leg comebacks, a lifeline.

TOT 3-1 BOD (FT)
