Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League final at San Memes in Bilbao on Wednesday to lift their first title in 17 years.
Brenan Johnson's in the 42nd minute courtesy of a scrappy finish from close range provided the club with the silverware after all these years.
United were left chasing the 2nd half as the players were clearly not clinical and only managed to force some saves from Spurs keeper Vicario in the end. The game was full of disruptive fouls and clearances as the quality expected out of teams in a European final was just missing in Bilbao tonight.
The aggression was there, with prime exaples being the coming together of Spurs skipper Romero and United's Harry Maguire, but in the end it was a solitary goal that separated the sides on the night.
As Tottenham have captured their first European title since 1984 and United, looking to replicate their 2017 Europa League successhave been left trophyless this season.
For United, Ruben Amorim has a lot to rebuild for his team ahea dof the next season with the ownership likely to give the Portuguese manager atleast one full season until they make the decision of appointing someone else.
Ange Postecoglu and his men have done something that wasn;t done in a white shirt for more than a decade now. 3 cup final appearances, a UCL final and a 2nd place finish in the Premier League was all that took for the side to finally lift a title.
