Tottenham Hotspur put aside their woeful domestic season with a 3-1 home victory against Norway's Bodo/Glimt leaving them within sight of the Europa League final on Thursday, Reuters reported.

Brennan Johnson's headed goal inside the opening minute paved the way for Ange Postecoglou's Premier League strugglers and James Maddison doubled their lead with a smart finish in the 34th minute after controlling a long pass.

Dominic Solanke's cooly-taken 61st minute penalty, given for a foul by Fredrik Sjovold on Cristian Romero, put the hosts completely in control of the semi-final.

Bodo/Glimt, the first Norwegian club to reach a European semi-final, did not manage a shot on target for the first 83 minutes but there was a late twist as captain Ulrik Saltnes's deflected effort gave them hope for next week's second leg on their artificial pitch inside the Arctic Circle, according to Reuters.

Apple on Thursday estimated that tariffs will add about $900 million in costs to the quarter ending in June if rates do not change, with CEO Tim Cook outlining profound changes to the company's supply chain to minimize the impact of President Donald Trump's trade war, Reuters reported.

Apple shares were down 3.8% after the company released quarterly results.

While the results were better than analysts had expected, investors are focused on how tariff concerns will play out in the coming quarter. Apple executives said that the company expects low-to-mid single-digit revenue growth during its fiscal third quarter, which is in line with analyst expectations of 4.28% growth to $89.45 billion, according to LSEG data.

But Apple did predict a hit to gross margins, which it said will be 45.5% to 46.5% in its fiscal third quarter, which is below analyst estimates of 46.58%, according to LSEG data, according to Reuters.
