""The game was decided by a scruffy goal from Brennan Johnson just before half-time, but Spurs and under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou won't care.""
""For Tottenham, it's a first trophy in 17 years and UEFA Champions League football next season. For United, it's no European football for the first time since 2013-14.""
""The scrappy nature of the goal -- initially credited as a Luke Shaw own goal after it was bundled in at the near post -- was fitting of a game low on quality.""
""Amidst ridicule, manager Ange Postecoglou kept his promise of winning silverware, overcoming Tottenham's history of failures to deliver a trophy in his second season.""
Tottenham Hotspur broke a 17-year trophy drought by clinching the UEFA Europa League final against Manchester United with a 1-0 victory in Bilbao. The only goal of the match came from Brennan Johnson just before halftime, marked by a scrappy affair with minimal quality. This victory secures Tottenham a place in next season's UEFA Champions League, while Manchester United faces an uncertain future following their failure for European football for the first time since 2013-14. Manager Ange Postecoglou fulfilled his promise of winning silverware in his second season despite the club's turbulent domestic campaign.
