Europa League final: Tottenham beat Man United to win first trophy in 17 years

Tottenham won first trophy in 17 years after beating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final on Wednesday.

Brennan Johnson‘s goal in the first half secured the victory for Tottenham.

It was a game that was befitting of a clash between the Premier League’s 16th and 17th-placed teams, but it was Spurs who finally broke their silverware drought, winning their first title since 2008.

Spurs, who had not won European silverware since 1984, will play in next season’s Champions League, while failing to qualify for it is a severe financial set-back for Manchester United.

Despite their triumph in Bilbao, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou’s future is still on the line following a shambolic domestic campaign, with Spurs sitting a place below United in the lower reaches of the Premier League table.

The Australian furiously insisted he was “not a clown” on the eve of the final and had the last laugh on a nerve-racking night at the San Mames, as he made good on his claim to always win a trophy in his second season in charge of a club.
