Brennan Johnson set the tone for a dominant Spurs performance when he nodded home from close range after just 38 seconds, after a superb header across goal by Richarlison.

James Maddison doubled the home side's lead after 34 minutes, bringing a wonderful Pedro Porro pass under his spell and firing a low effort into the far corner.

The game was seemingly put to bed after an hour when Cristian Romero was caught by Fredrik Sjovold inside the area and, after a VAR review, a penalty was awarded.

Dominic Solanke stepped up, stuttered and calmly stroked the ball home to give Spurs a commanding 3-0 lead.

A concerning injury for Maddison was followed by a Bodo/Glimt goal.

From the visitor's first shot on target, Saltnes fired a deflected effort off Rodrigo Bentancur to reduce the deficit to two and give the travelling Norwegians a glimmer of hope for the return leg.
