Ulrik Saltnes pulled one back for Bodø/Glimt in the final minutes to give the Norwegian outfit a glimpse of hope ahead of the return fixture next week. Speaking to reporters after the game, .

"Richarlison wasn't injured, it was just a tactical thing," began the Spurs manager. "He did a great job for us in the first half, exactly what we needed him to do, but and we got Mathys [Tel] on for that.

"Dom and Madders – Madders felt a tweak in his knee, but it doesn't sound like it's anything serious, and Dom something similar in his quad, but , but thought it was wise just to take them off at that point."

On Lucas Bergvall, who was , Postecoglou added: "It's too early to assess [whether he's out for the season].

"You know, it's just the way our season's gone on unfortunately. It's just hugely disappointing for Lucas. He was obviously really excited. He had a big week, re-signing with the club and he's had such a great year for us.

"Like I said, it's just the way our season's gone, where in training something innocuous like that ends up with him hurting his ankle. We'll just assess over the next few days, let it settle down and we'll find the extent of it."

On the performance, Postecoglou said: "I thought the players were outstanding today. I thought our performance was everything it needed to be: really well organised and disciplined defensively and really calm going forward and created good opportunities for ourselves and maintaining pressure.

"Obviously they scored the goal late, which doesn't I think reflect our dominance in the game, but if we repeat that performance next week and it'll be enough for us to get through."
