Tottenham Hotspur have ended a 17-year wait for a trophy, winning the UEFA Europa League with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final played at the San Mamés stadium in Bilbao. The success gave Ange Postecoglou's team not only European glory, but also a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.
In a crucial match for two teams in poor form in the league, Spurs managed to score the decisive goal in the 42nd minute. A cross from Pape Matar Sarr from the right caused chaos in the United area, and after a deflection from Brennan Johnson, it was Luke Shaw who pushed the ball into his own net for an own goal.
Manchester United had several chances to equalise in the second half. Rasmus Højlund and Bruno Fernandes failed to convert, while goalkeeper Vicario proved decisive at times, helped by defender Micky van de Ven, who saved a clear goal with an acrobatic clearance.
The victory marked Tottenham's first European triumph since 2008 and a historic moment for manager Postecoglou in his 100th game in charge. Meanwhile, Manchester United ended the season in disappointment and began the analysis of another serious failure. (A2 Televizion)
