It never gets completely dark in Bodo at this time of year and the light has refused to go out on Tottenham's season. Around 75 miles inside the Arctic Circle, Spurs remained ice cold to execute a professional performance and crush any pre-match expectations that Bodo/Glimt would make life difficult for them.

BODO, Norway (Reuters) -Tottenham Hotspur avoided any mishaps in the Arctic Circle by easing into the Europa League final with a composed 2-0 win at Norway's Bodo/Glimt for a 5-1 aggregate victory on Thursday.

Goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke appeared to have given Spurs an unassailable lead in the first leg in north London last week. However, a late strike from midfielder Ulrik Saltnes gave the Eliteserien underdogs a lifeline ahead of today's home fixture.
