Live updates of Tottenham Hotspur v AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League Round of 16 from our reporter James St Denis at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
A big night for Ange Postecoglou as Spurs made it through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a win over AZ Alkmaar.
They will now face Eintracht Frankfurt.
Here’s what Ange Postecoglou had to say after a MASSIVE result for his side…
And that’s it!
Tottenham progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League!
This could be it for AZ.
Goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Odoro is up for a late free kick.
Belic’s attempt at a cross is blocked back onto him by Pape Mate Sarr.
Tottenham are closing in on the quarter-finals.
We have four minutes added on.
Can Spurs hold on?
What a chance for Smit! Poku’s cross meets the forward at the back-post but his volley hits the side-netting!
Wouter Goes is off.
He’s replaced by Kristijan Belic.
Bergvall can’t continue and is replaced by Ben Davies.
Lucas Bergvall is down and receiving treatment.
Mexx Meerdink comes on for Maikuma.
What a save Vicario and what a block from Bissouma to deny AZ another goal!
James Maddison and Wilson Odobert depart the pitch, and are replaced by Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson.
SCRATCH THAT!
Spurs’ two goal advantage is restored. Maddison’s powerful run beats the AZ press, before he plays a great ball to Son who plays an exchange with Spence, who cuts it back to Solankle and his impromptu flick finds Odobert lurking at the back post to tap into an empty net!
Spurs appear to have lost all tempo in the game.
Zico Buurmeester is coming off for Kees Smit.
James Maddison is on a mission to get Spurs through tonight, but his effort loops over the bar.
Just like that AZ score and level the tie!
It was brilliant defensive covering from Odobert to intercept the ball, but Lucas Bergvall’s careless pass diverts off Odobert into the path of Peer Koopmeiners and he blasts the ball into the back of the net.
Game on!
Micky van de Ven is off and replaced by Archie Gray.
What a statistic!

Ernest Poku, who was so impressive in the first half, had the beating of the Spurs defence and was bearing down on goal, only for Micky van de Ven to appear and bounce the winger to the ground.
AZ then win a corner which they play cleverly to Jordy Clasie but the former Southampton man just fires wide of the post.
It’s been a great start to the second half for Tottenham, and Dominic Solanke continues to cause AZ problems.
The striker uses his strength brilliantly to bounce Penetra off him and win his side a corner.
And Spurs are in front in the tie for the first time!
Odobert travels with the ball well before playing to Son, who cuts it back to James Maddison and he fires into the bottom corner.
Spurs are heading to a tie with Frankfurt!
What is Guglielmo Vicario doing?
He turns into the onrushing Parrott but escapes…
Ibrahim Sadiq is replaced by Mees de Wit.
