TOTTENHAM WIN EUROPA CUP FOR FIRST SILVERWARE IN 17 YEARS

Tottenham Hotspur’s Captain Heung-min Son lifted the UEFA Europa League Trophy on Wednesday, ending the club’s 17-year wait for a trophy.

Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal was enough to beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain.

Victory means embattled head coach Ange Postecoglou has fulfilled a promise to deliver silverware in his second season at Spurs.

Victory may not save Postecoglou from a Spurs exit in the coming weeks.

However, the Australian joins Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw in winning a European trophy with the north London giants.
