In Bilbao, Spain, Tottenham Hotspur won the Europa League final on Wednesday, defeating Manchester United 1-0.
As the squad seems to have eliminated the reputation for failing to complete important games, Tottenham players and supporters in white were tearing up at the end of the game at Athletic Bilbao's Estadio de San Mamés. Spurs won their first cup in seventeen years thanks to the win.
Spurs are having a historic moment as they win their first continental championship since the 1983–84 season and the club's first trophy since 2008. Over the last ten years, the north London club has tried to overcome the stigma of being nearly good enough, and they celebrated the victory as though it were their first trophy in almost twenty years.
Both teams struggled to get control of the game or generate real goal opportunities throughout the sluggish first half. Spurs' Brennan Johnson, a midfielder, scored late in the half. Pape Sarr, a midfielder for Tottenham, blasted a right-footed cross into the box in the 42nd minute. Luke Shaw of Manchester United deflected the ball, and Spurs' leading scorer in all competitions then gave it a tiny touch.
The second half was, at the very least, the most athletic highlight of the game. Micky Van de Ven had a brilliant moment as United was trying to equalize.
Rasmus Højlund of United scored an uncontested header toward an unguarded goal after Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario mishandled Manchester United's free-kick. However, the Dutchman filled the void with an impressive scissor kick goal clearance to maintain the lead in the 62nd minute.
