Overview

• Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao, securing their first major trophy since 2008 and first European title since 1984.
• Brennan Johnson scored the decisive goal in the 42nd minute after Pape Matar Sarr's cross deflected off Luke Shaw and Johnson before crossing the goal line.

• Manager Ange Postecoglou delivered on his promise to win a trophy in his second season, while United's Ruben Amorim faces mounting pressure to rebuild the struggling side.
