Postecoglou gave Dominic Solanke, who scored the decisive goal, a huge hug while the rest of the squad lapped up the applause from the fans. It is the first time they have been united in months and Postecoglou had a rare smile etched across his face. That Spurs won without their injured captain Son Heung-min makes it even more impressive.

Ange Postecoglou is being roundly embarrassed by Tottenham’s Premier League form and is only being kept in the job by the Europa League. Spurs lost once again v Wolves and the Midlands club’s form under Vitor Pereira makes a mockery of the Australian’s reign at Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou insisted winning Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt does not make him a better manager.
