The referee has blown his whistle to call an end to the first half, meaning only a quarter of this intense Europa League tie remains, and it’s time for our Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham ratings.
Tottenham Hotspur reached a European final six years ago tonight, thanks to Lucas Moura’s incredible second-half hat-trick against Ajax. Unlike that fixture, Spurs have the advantage tonight. However, on nights like these, anything can happen.
We’ve rated each Tottenham player’s first-half performance on a scale of 1-10.
Tottenham first-half player ratings away to Bodø/Glimt
Guglielmo Vicario – The out-of-form keeper won’t have been complaining about his lack of responsibilities in the first half. He was called into action after half an hour to punch away a free kick. 6.5
Pedro Porro – Took a decent free kick from close range which forced Haikin into a save. He later went on a promising run near the end of the half and wasn’t offered any support, yet he still managed to put in a decent cross. 7.5
Cristian Romero – Tottenham’s captain has kept his passes accurate and hasn’t had any problems at the back. 7
Micky van de Ven – Looks solid whenever he’s called into action. He hasn’t needed to do much though. 6.5

Destiny Udogie – Fired a ball across goal after 15 minutes which forced the opposition goalkeeper into a diving save. Later on, however, he gave away a free kick in a risky position. 6
Yves Bissouma – There’s not a lot to be said about Bissouma’s performance. He’s been okay. Nothing impressive, but nothing to be concerned by either. He had a half chance at the end of the half, but his shot was poor. 5.5
Rodrigo Bentancur – Sent a good cross to Richarlison early in the game. He made a mistake giving the ball away on the edge of the box by trying to be too clever, but the Uruguayan’s overall performance was acceptable enough. 6
Dejan Kulusevski – The Swede has big boots to fill tonight, as James Maddison was Tottenham’s standout player in the first leg. He hasn’t looked a threat so far. 4
Brennan Johnson – Tottenham’s joint top scorer in the competition has a tendency to either score or go missing. He hasn’t made an impact tonight and hasn’t managed to involve himself in the game.. Well, except for committing a foul which got him booked. 4
Dominic Solanke – Won a free kick on the edge of Bodo/Glimt’s box. As is often the case with Solanke, he hasn’t had a massive impact, but he’s contributed more than some. 6
