Paris (AFP)
Tottenham, victorious in North Macedonia of Skendija 79 (3-1) and AC Milan, home winner of Norwegians Bodoe / Glimt (3-2), qualified Thursday for the play-offs of the Europa League.
The two clubs are only one game away from the group stage, the play-offs scheduled for October 1 being played in a dry match like the previous qualifying rounds.
Tottenham, finalist of the Champions League 2019, was scared against Skendija 79, but could still count on his duo Son-Kane.
After leading a long time thanks to Erik Lamela (5th), José Mourinho's players conceded a goal from Valjmir Nafiu (55th).
But the inevitable Son Heung-min, author of a recent quadruplet in the league and passer on the first goal, doubled the bet (70th).
Harry Kane completed the English success (79th).
Tottenham will meet Maccabi Haifa in the shoot-off.
AC Milan, deprived a few hours before his match of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, tested positive for Covid-19 and placed in quarantine, suffered a little from the absence of his star striker against the modest Norwegians of Bodoe / Glimt.
After conceding the opener to San Siro (Junker, 15th), the Rossoneri rectified the situation thanks to Hakan Çalhanoğlu, author of a double (16th, 50th) and Lorenzo Colombo (32nd).
But the young nugget Jens Petter Hauge, 20, made the Milanese doubtful by reducing the mark on a superb long shot (55th).
The Italians will face the Portuguese from Rio Ave in the next round.
PSV Eindhoven made short work of the Slovenian club Mura (5-1) thanks to his generation 99. Malen and Gakpo, authors of a double, and Mauro Junior, all aged 21, were the evening scorers.
Scots Celtic waited until the 90th minute and a goal from Mohamed Elyounoussi to secure their qualification at Latvians in Riga.
Easier success for their rivals Rangers, 4-0 winners among the Dutch under Willem II.
Galatasaray, Wolfsburg, Sporting Portugal, Copenhagen, Basel and Granada are also among the qualifiers for the evening.
