Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 0 Elfsborg Tottenham battled through yet another injury setback to book their place in the last 16 of the Europa League, with teenage sensation Mikey Moore capping off the victory over Elfsborg in style. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Already missing 12 players due to injury and ineligibility, Spurs suffered another blow when substitute defender Radu Dragusin went off injured in the second half with the game still goalless. However, 20-year-old Dane Scarlett lifted the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, heading the hosts into the lead in the 70th minute. Fellow substitute Damola Ajayi, 19, then doubled the advantage, before 17-year-old winger Moore sealed the win in stoppage time with a stunning low finish after a surging run. In doing so, the London-born youngster (17 years and 172 days) made history, breaking Jimmy Greaves’ long-standing record (set at 17 years and 245 days in October 1957) to become the youngest-ever English goa...

 What is happening with Tottenham Hotspur? The official Twitter account posted the picture of the corner flag. You know something big is about to go down. Club update from Daniel — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) April 24, 2023 Interim manager Cristian Stellini has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after four matches in charge. The decision comes a day after they were thrashed 6-1 at Newcastle. A performance that saw many fans leave the ground after only 20 minutes. They are currently fifth in the Premier League table. Despite only being six points behind both Newcastle in third and Manchester United in fourth, very few fans will be expecting them to qualify for next season's Champions League. This was a season that started so promising for them. It quickly turned into a nightmare and Daniel Levy felt he has been forced into changing manager again. <Click here to read the story of how their season went very wrong> Look away Spurs fans.

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 1  AZ Alkmaar (Tottenham won 3-2 on aggregate) Wilson Odobert scored twice to rescue Tottenham Hotspur’s season as they overturned a first-leg deficit to beat AZ Alkmaar and secure a place in the Europa League quarter-finals. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium With Spurs languishing in 13th place in the Premier League and already out of both domestic cups, this competition represents their last opportunity for success this season. Ange Postecoglou’s side had been disappointing in the first leg, losing 1-0 in the Netherlands, but delivered a much-improved performance in front of their home fans. Odobert opened the scoring with his first goal for the club, drilling into the top corner after being picked out in space by Dominic Solanke. Spurs took the aggregate lead early in the second half when James Maddison exchanged passes with Son Heung-min inside the box before curling home a fine finish. However, a lapse in concentration saw AZ claw th...

Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 Leicester City Leicester City halted their seven-match losing streak and climbed out of the relegation zone with a spirited 2-1 comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur, intensifying the scrutiny on Spurs' head coach, Ange Postecoglou. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium The Foxes, under the management of Ruud van Nistelrooy, were acutely aware that a defeat in north London would have equalled their worst-ever league run. Their concerns deepened when Richarlison, returning to Tottenham's starting lineup, headed the hosts into the lead during the first half. However, the game took a dramatic turn in the opening moments of the second half. Just 57 seconds after the restart, Jamie Vardy brought Leicester level, showcasing his enduring prowess. Shortly thereafter, Bilal El Khannouss curled a sublime shot from just outside the penalty area, putting the visitors ahead. Leicester then displayed resilience, holding firm to leapfrog Wolverhampt...

AZ Alkmaar 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur Lucas Bergvall's unfortunate own goal condemned Tottenham to a flat and uninspiring defeat in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie against AZ Alkmaar. Author - Greg S Stadium - AFAS Stadion Ange Postecoglou's side offered little in attack, failing to muster a shot on target until the closing stages, and only managing two touches inside AZ's box all evening. The decisive moment came from teenage midfielder Bergvall, who inadvertently diverted Troy Parrott's cross into his own net as he attempted to clear the danger. Spurs had goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to thank for keeping them in the tie, producing three crucial saves. This included one to deny former Tottenham striker Parrott, who joined AZ for £6.7m last summer. However, Tottenham's hopes of progression took another blow with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur now suspended for next week's return leg after picking up his third booking of the competition. Postecogl...

 Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 0  Chelsea Tottenham boosted their hopes of a top-four Premier League finish with a London derby win over Chelsea. This increased the pressure on Graham Potter. Oliver Skipp's 20-yard effort just after the interval put the hosts in command. The victory was sealed when Harry Kane turned home Eric Dier's knock-down late on. Let's explore all of the best reaction from fans Amy, a Chelsea fan, told us: "Another poor performance. I don't want Potter to be sacked, but I fear it's going that way." Greg, a Spurs fan, was very happy with the result and performance. He said: "That could be a very important win for us. " Crees commented on YouTube: "Richarlison has been really crucial for me. He might not get a goal or assist, but he is always in the right position. He helped Skippy and also almost put Hojberg in. If we do go to a 4231 with a future manager, he could play anywhere in the front." Jacob Huggins commented on Yo...

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 5 Manchester United (2001/2002 season) Ahead of Manchester United's upcoming trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, European Super Football will recall a previous clash between these two sides from 15 years ago. Author - Liam C #Throwback to a memorable match from 2001/2002. Spurs 3 - 5 Manchester United youtu.be/RWdYAZQ0Uis?... [image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 14 February 2025 at 17:11 United arrived at White Hart Lane in September 2001 having won the previous three Premier League titles, not that you would not have known that after an awful first-half display from Spurs.  Glenn Hoddle's men found themselves 3-0 up at half-time after goals from Dean Richards, Les Ferdinand and Christian Ziege. United then brought on Mikael Silvestre and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the interval. They were a different side in the second half and staged a remarkable second-half comeback to silence the home support, who were in party ...

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 4 Chelsea Cole Palmer’s cool-headed 'Panenka' penalty capped off a stunning Chelsea comeback, overturning a two-goal deficit to secure victory against Tottenham. Author - Lauren W Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez both found the net, while Palmer added two expertly taken penalties to sink Spurs, who had started brightly but crumbled under pressure. The result heaps further misery on Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, who is facing increasing scrutiny. Tottenham surged ahead early, with Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski scoring within the first 11 minutes. However, despite Son Heung-min adding a late third in stoppage time, Spurs let the game slip from their grasp. Chelsea's triumph moves them within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool, who saw their game against Everton postponed due to Storm Darragh.

Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 0 Manchester United James Maddison made an immediate impact on his return from injury, scoring the decisive goal as Tottenham edged out fellow Premier League strugglers Manchester United. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium The midfielder, back after nearly four weeks sidelined with a calf problem, reacted quickest when United goalkeeper André Onana could only parry Lucas Bergvall’s shot, tapping home from close range after just 13 minutes. United had opportunities to respond, with Alejandro Garnacho wasting a clear-cut chance in the first half when he lifted his effort over the bar. But in keeping with their recent struggles, it was another uninspiring performance from Ruben Amorim’s side. For Spurs, this was a much-needed win—breaking a run of three straight defeats, including cup exits to Liverpool and Aston Villa. It also offers some respite for Ange Postecoglou, whose side climbs to 12th in the table, leapfrogging United in the process. Th...

Cristiano Ronaldo was the inspiration behind an excellent Manchester United display against Tottenham Hotspur This provided the perfect response to last week's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool at Old Trafford that raised questions over Solskjaer's future. Ronaldo made life more comfortable for his boss with a sublime far-post volley from Bruno Fernandes' cross. This was followed by a slide-rule pass to set up Edinson Cavani for a second. Marcus Rashford wrapped things up with a cool finish just four minutes from time as Spurs fans erupted in fury against Nuno and their chairman Daniel Levy. Towards the ground, Spurs fans started chanting"we want Levy out." Tottenham manager Nuno has been struggling to win over supporters but the atmosphere inside this vast arena turned very angry as they slipped tamely to defeat here. They were already in a grim mood before their boss made the highly-contentious decision to replace Moura with Bergwijn nine minutes after the break. Ch...

Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Arsenal Gabriel was Arsenal's North London derby day hero as he headed home the only goal to secure a third-straight victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Brazilian defender towered over the Spurs defence on 64 minutes to divert home a Bukayo Saka corner and settle a game of few chances. You'd have to say that Arsenal enjoyed the better of throughout the contest and ultimately deserved their hard-fought victory. The result ensured that Arsenal remains unbeaten in the Premier League this campaign, but more importantly for all Gooners, saw them claim a hat-trick of wins at the home of their neighbours for the first time since 1988 as their fantastic away record in 2024 continues. A closer look at what happened Arsenal's goalkeeper, David Raya, shone in the early moments, making crucial saves to deny Dejan Kulusevski and keeping Spurs at bay. At the other end, Guglielmo Vicario was equally impressive, pulling off a fine stop to keep out a Kai...

Tottenham Hotspur 6 - 2 Leicester City Spurs recovered from a poor night in the Champions League by thrashing Leicester City in a memorable match in North London. UCL: Spurs lose in Lisbon (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) Highlights from  Tottenham Hotspur - YouTube   Son Heung-min ended his goal drought with a scintillating 13-minute hat-trick as Tottenham ruthlessly punished Leicester's latest defensive horror show. The South Korea striker responded to Antonio Conte's decision to drop him to the bench after a barren start to the season by coming on to curl home two fantastic strikes and slot home a late third. Spurs had initially trailed to Youri Tielemans' early penalty but quickly took advantage of the Foxes' failings at set-pieces as Harry Kane and Eric Dier nodded home from corners to turn the game around. James Maddison's stunning first-time finish briefly drew Leicester level again, but Wilfried Ndidi's mistake allowed Rodrigo Bentancur to steer Tott...

Manchester United 0 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur ended 17 years of frustration as Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal secured a 1–0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final.  Author - Liam C Stadium -  San Mamés In a tense affair at Bilbao’s San Mamés Stadium, Johnson bundled home what proved to be the decisive goal just before the break. It capped off a cagey contest between two of the lowest-placed teams ever to meet in a European final. The win delivers on Ange Postecoglou’s promise of silverware in his second season at the helm. The under-pressure Australian has now joined club legends Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw in leading Spurs to continental glory. It is a remarkable achievement, even if it may not be enough to keep him in the job long term. With speculation surrounding his future, Postecoglou may still depart this summer, but he will do so a hero to the travelling 15,000 Spurs fans, and the many more unofficial supporters who flood...

Tottenham Hotspur 4 - 1 Aston Villa Dominic Solanke bagged a brace as Tottenham staged a comeback to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League. Author - Greg S The £65m summer signing doubled his season’s league goal tally with two goals in just four minutes of the second half, lifting Ange Postecoglou's side up to seventh in the table. Solanke gave Spurs the lead with a clever finish, lifting the ball over the onrushing Emiliano Martinez from a pinpoint pass by Dejan Kulusevski. Minutes later, Richarlison found Solanke in the box, who calmly slotted it home to put Villa's late resurgence beyond reach. A closer look at what happened at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Villa had initially taken the lead 32 minutes in, as Morgan Rogers capitalised on Spurs' inability to clear Lucas Digne’s in-swinging corner, netting from their first shot on target. Aston Villa, who had been denied an opener just two minutes prior when Amadou Onana’s header struck the post, were well-organised ...

 AC Milan 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur Spurs suffered a narrow first-leg defeat in the San Siro Diaz nodded in early on after Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster had saved a Theo Hernandez shot and then superbly got a hand on the scorer's initial follow-up attempt. Antonio Conte's side looked relatively comfortable for long periods of the contest against the seven-time European champions. A young midfield pairing of Pape Sarr and Oliver Skipp deputised confidently for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (suspended) and Rodrigo Bentancur (injured). Not much attacking threat from the away side They were rarely able to build any attacking momentum with their front three of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski. They were all well-shackled by an AC Milan side that was well-disciplined. Will Milan have regrets? Mian's only regret will be not to have put the tie beyond this depleted Spurs side. Can they get at least a draw in North London to see them qualify for the last eight of the compe...

 Liverpool 5 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions emphatically and drew level with Manchester United on 20 league titles, as Tottenham Hotspur were swept aside on a day of high emotion and celebration at Anfield. Author - William G Stadium - Anfield Arne Slot’s side needed only a point to secure the title, but Spurs briefly hinted at a surprise when former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke nodded them into an early lead. That jolt served only to rouse Liverpool. The title was effectively secured before half-time, with three goals that sent an expectant Anfield into raptures at the culmination of Slot’s remarkable debut season following the departure of Jürgen Klopp. Luis Díaz levelled after 16 minutes, turning in Dominik Szoboszlai’s pass from close range. The goal was awarded after a brief VAR check overturned an initial offside call against the Hungarian. READ MORE: How the Premier League was won Any remaining nerves were settled eight minutes...

It has been confirmed that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left Tottenham Hotspur by mutual agreement.  Cristian Stellini will take the team as Acting Head Coach for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason as Assistant Head Coach. This comes just over a week after Conte's extraordinary rant where he appeared to call out players and the Spurs board.  Let's explore some of the best reaction to this announcement Daniel Levy, Spurs Chairman, gave his thoughts on the club website : “We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.” Greg, a Spurs fan from Halifax, told us: "I totally agree with all that Conte said regarding the players and the lack of silverware since our last League Cup success. In my opinion, Daniel Levy needs to go, and go now. Maybe under new leadership Spu...

Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 on aggregate) Spurs kept their European hopes alive with a narrow win over Eintracht Frankfurt, edging through to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to a first-half penalty from Dominic Solanke. Author - Greg S Stadium - Deutsche Bank Park After squandering several chances in a frustrating 1-1 draw at home in the first leg, Spurs arrived in Frankfurt knowing they faced a stern test. For much of the match, they were second best in possession and under sustained pressure. The decisive moment came shortly before half-time, when Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos misjudged a high ball and collided clumsily with James Maddison in the box. Initially, Italian referee Davide Massa waved away the protests, but a VAR review prompted a change of heart. Santos was shown a yellow card, and a penalty was awarded. Solanke, seemingly chosen by Ange Postecoglou from the touchline, stepped up calmly and dispatched the spot-kick...

Let's explore the new manager of Manchester United Early days in management In 2012, Ten Hag was appointed as manager of Go Ahead Eagles in the Eerste Divisie by Marc Overmars, who was a shareholder of the club. During his only season at Go Ahead Eagles, he managed the team to its first promotion in 17 years. He coached Bayern Munich II from 6 June 2013 until 2015 when he was replaced by Heiko Vogel. His final match as Bayern Munich II head coach was in May 2015. Perhaps interestingly, he was at Bayer the same time as the current Manchester City manager. Ten Hag then became the Sporting Director and head coach of FC Utrecht in the summer of 2015, where he led the club to fifth place during his first season. In the 2016–17 season, he improved FC Utrecht's final position to fourth, booking a place in the Europa League qualifiers. Moving to AFC Ajax On 21 December 2017, he was appointed as the head coach of AFC Ajax after the club dismissed Marcel Keizer. In 2019, he led h...
