Tottenham were in a situation of `all-in' to the Europa League. In this season's English Premier League, he ranked 16th with 11 wins, 4 draws and 19 losses (37 points). Since the launch of the EPL, he has recorded the most losses in a season (1993-1994, 2003-2004). With four games left in the regular league, Tottenham will record the most losses in a single EPL season with one more loss. He was eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup. Winning the Europa League was the team's only goal.
There were injury variables. 'Captain' Son Heung-min was unable to play due to injury. He was injured in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Frankfurt (Germany) on 11 April when he was tackled by opposing striker Jean Matteo Bahoya. He was completely excluded from the league away game against Wolverhampton two days later. At the time, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min's foot was shocked. I'm on the lookout. He said he will be fine during the away game in the Europa League. However, Son Heung-min also failed to play in the second round of the quarterfinals in Frankfurt on April 18. He stayed in England instead of away to focus on recovering from his foot injury. Son Heung-min also failed to play in the subsequent games against Nottingham and Liverpool. Ahead of the match against Nottingham, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min has been having foot problems for a while. I need time to get over it. Nor will Nottingham be able to come forward. It's not clear. He's been dealing with the problem for a while. The situation has not improved for us. Rather, it was getting worse. I think rest will be more important than anything else." Son Heung-min also failed to return to the game on the day. Ahead of the match, Postecoglou said, `I will not play in the game. I'm training, but I'm still out of the team. However, it is steadily developing. I hope I can return soon." Son Heung-min did not play in five consecutive games. However, Son Heung-min visited the stadium and cheered for his teammates.

Beau/Glimt did not back down easily. Blomberg's shot at the end of the first half shocked Tottenham. However, Tottenham ended the first half by maintaining a 2-0 lead.
