BILBAO: Tottenham Hotspur overcame their domestic problems to end a torturous 17-year trophy drought on Wednesday, defeating Manchester United 1-0 thanks to a bundled goal from Brennan Johnson in the first half.
Tottenham came out of a miserable season with a reason to celebrate and a lucrative spot in the Champions League for the following season, even though both clubs fell out of the Premier League.
It was Spurs’ first European title since their 1984 UEFA Cup victory and their first trophy since the 2008 League Cup.
When Pape Sarr swung in a cross and goalie Andre Onana stayed glued to his line, United’s defense broke down, and Johnson scored in the 42nd minute. Johnson and the United defense.
