Tottenham's Europa League heroes were serenaded by thousands of fans as the club's open-top bus parade made its way through North London.

It's two days since Brennan Johnson's 42nd-minute winner in Bilbao fired Spurs to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United, the players to end a 17-year trophy drought.

A white double-decker bus with "Europa League winners" written across the front was stationary for a lengthy period of time before it started to move down the High Road at 5.30pm to chants of "glory, glory Tottenham Hotspur" from supporters young and old.

An estimated 150,000 fans were expected to swarm on areas around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with plenty on roofs and bus stops to get a better vantage point before a stage outside the club's 62,850-seater venue allowed for further adulation.

Third season for Postecoglou?

And Ange Postecoglou teased a potential third season at Tottenham as thousands of fans serenaded him and the club's Europa League heroes at a euphoric open-top bus parade.

Postecoglou had to pause before he addressed a buoyant crowd, which belted out his song to the tune of Robbie Williams' hit 'Angels' for one of the first times this season.

The 59-year-old, who has faced continuous speculation over his future, then dropped a hint that he could get his wish of a third campaign at Spurs.

"I told them and they laughed. I told them and they didn't believe, but here we are," Postecoglou said in reference to his autumn claim that he "always wins things" in his second year.

"We're here because of this unbelievable group of people players and staff, absolute heroes led by the legend Son Heung-min, Cuti (Cristian) Romero, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario. All of them, heroes.

"They did it all for you, because you deserve it. This club deserves it.

"And I'll tell you something, I'll leave you with this - all the best television series, season three is better than season two. Thank you."

It was met with enormous cheers, with Daniel Levy watching on before several of the key figures from Wednesday's win at San Mames took to the stage.

Match-winner Johnson, who turned 24 on Friday, also had happy birthday sang to him before fireworks were let out from the roof of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium alongside blue and white confetti.

This is Spurs' first trophy parade since a 1991 FA Cup win and club greats were on hand to reflect on the achievements of the class of '25 before the team bus started to slowly move down the High Road.

The squad earlier left Edmonton Green and made their way to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of the game as Spurs beat Manchester United 1-nil in the final in Bilbao, securing their first silverware since 2008.
