Tottenham Hotspur have won this year’s Europa League, following a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday night.
It is Tottenham’s first European trophy in 40 years. Their first bit of silverware in 17 years and 86 days
Both teams came into the game looking to win the trophy that would have been a huge positive in a dreadful season.
Winning the Europa would also secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
And it was Spurs who scored the only goal of the match in Bilbao.
Brennan Johnson got on the end of a loose ball in the area to prod it past Andre Onana in the first half.
Although Ruben Amorim’s fought back after the break. Bruno Fernandes’ floated free-kick met Leny Yoro’s outstretched foot but a leaping Guglielmo Vicario kept him out.
The Spurs goalkeeper was then saved by Micky van de Ven as the defender acrobatically cleared Rasmus Hojlund’s header off the line.
But Spurs held on to finish the campaign with silverware.
