Tottenham Hotspur have won the Europa League after beating Premier League rivals Manchester United 1-0 in the final.
Brennan Johnson’s scrappy 42-minute goal gave Ange Postecoglou’s team the win and a spot in next season’s Champions League, which is set to bring the north London club a £100m windfall.
Spurs have endured a disappointing top-flight campaign, currently sitting in 17th place, but the victory in Bibao, Spain, means they have secured a place in Europe’s premier club competition and salvaged their season.
It is the first time Tottenham have won a trophy since the Carling Cup in 2008.
Beaming boss Postecoglou silenced the critics – temporarily at least – as he stuck to his word by winning a trophy in his second season.
Meanwhile, United will now have a season without European football for the first time since 2014-15.
