Spurs ended their 17 year trophy drought against Manchester United in Bilbao.
Last updated 22nd May 2025
Tottenham Hotspur's trophy drought is over after they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League Final.
Spurs went 1-0 up just before half time thanks to Brennan Johnson in the 42nd minute.
This was the sixth time Tottenham reached a European final, and their first since the Champions League final in 2019.
Until today, Tottenham Hotspur hadn't won a trophy since 2008.
Alongside the fans watching the game in Bilbao, thousands of fans were able to watch the game at a special screening in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
Both Spurs and United went into the final after tough seasons in the premier league. Tottenham ended just above the relegation zone in 17th, with United not too far ahead in 16th.
Spurs edged this tense all-English final, with Brennan Johnson's goal, thanks in no small part to a touch from Luke Shaw, Micky van de Ven's goal-line clearance and Guglielmo Vicario's stoppage-time save seeing them win a first trophy since the Carling Cup in 2008.
Beaming boss Postecoglou silenced the critics - temporarily at least - as he stuck to his word by winning a trophy in his second season, while United will now spend a first campaign without European football since 2014-15.
Fans will be able to celebrate with the club with a trophy parade in North London on Friday.
