The Brace of Wilson Odobert helped Tottenham on Thursday a 3-1 victory over AZ to achieve in the Europa League Last-16 second stage and sent them to the quarterfinals.
A bleak display in the first leg meant that Spurs had to be in the draw from behind, and they successfully destroyed their 1-0 deficit to set up a meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt.
The hosts made a clear start and put pressure on AZ in the early stages, but it took until the 26th minute before they would find the breakthrough.
Son Heung-Min Chased Down Wouter is going to win the ball on the left, and Dominic Solanke squared the cool in Odobert, who led it in the roof of the net to be aggregated.
James Maddison then put traces for the first time in the draw for the first time and played a two with son to open the space in the AZ box before he fire a powerful effort along Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro and in the right-right corner.
AZ came to life shortly thereafter, with the efforts of Jordy Clasie along the post before Peer Koopmeiners benefited from a defensive mix between Lucas Bergvall and Odobert to drill a shot in the far corner of the net.
However, they were only at the level in the draw for 11 minutes, while Odobert grabbed his second.
Solanke flickered on the cross of Djed Spence at the nearby pole and the Frenchman stuck a leg out to send traces to the last eight.

Data debrief: The children are fine
Odobert had never scored for Tottenham for this match, but his brace could not have come at a better time because it sent his side to the next round.
His goals mean that Spurs are the first side in the big European competition history with five players under the age of 21, score a goal in the same season (Will Lankshear, Damola Ajayi, Mikey Moore, Dane Scarlett and Odobert).
The Frenchman is also the youngest Spurs player (20 years, 105 days) with two goals in a major European competition since Chris McGrath in November 1973 against Aberdeen in the UEFA Cup (18 years, 343 days).
There was also a piece of history for Archie Gray.
19 years old and one day he became the youngest member of his family to play 10 games in major European competitions, younger than his grandfather Frank (20 years, 129 days) and Great-Uncle Eddie (19 years, 259 days) were in their 10th matches.
