How Spurs beat Man United to win Europa League

Brennan Johnson’s opportunistic strike in the first half proved decisive as Spurs edged Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao.

Despite late pressure from Ruben Amorim’s side, Tottenham held firm to clinch their first piece of silverware since the 2008 League Cup.

It was a win that brought relief and sparked waves of admiration across the football world.

Many backed Spurs due to the likeability of captain Son Heung-min and the bold, front-foot football Ange Postecoglou has instilled.

Salah’s reference pointed to a moment earlier in the season when Ange Postecoglou confidently claimed he tends to win trophies in his second year.

What Spurs boss Postecoglou said after Europa League win

In the aftermath of the victory, Postecoglou was asked about that now-viral quote. He responded with calm clarity:

“Let me clarify, I wasn't boasting. I just had something inside me: we needed to win. People have taken shots at the club, and I have felt at times we haven't defended ourselves as strongly as we should,” he said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano on X.

As Opta notes, this is far from the first time Postecoglou has delivered silverware in his second season.

From South Melbourne in 1997–98, Brisbane Roar in 2011–12, Yokohama F. Marinos in 2019, to Celtic in 2022–23, and now Tottenham—his track record speaks volumes.
