In the UEFA Europa League final at San Mamés Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 to snap a 17-year trophy drought. When Brennan Johnson’s effort bounced off Luke Shaw and into the net in the 42nd minute, it was the game-winning goal.
Even though Manchester United controlled the ball, they couldn’t penetrate Tottenham’s strong defense. Key defensive plays, notably a goal-line clearing by Micky van de Ven and a stoppage-time save by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, maintained Spurs’ advantage.
The win gives Tottenham their first European title since 1984 and guarantees them a spot in the UEFA Champions League the following season. Despite a difficult domestic campaign, manager Ange Postecoglou fulfilled his pledge to bring trophy to the club in his second season. Nwyplay.com
