Tottenham player ratings vs Man Utd: Seven Spurs stars impress on historic night
Tottenham’s long wait for a trophy is over after Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal gave them a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final. Three minutes before half-time, the forward scrambled the ball home from close range after it deflected into his path of Luke Shaw, and Ange Postecoglou’s side held onto the lead in the second half.
United were bitterly disappointing, and despite pushing forward late on, they struggled to create chances. One opening did fall their way when Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario fumbles a cross, but Rasmus Hojlund’s header was brilliantly cleared off the line by Micky van de Ven. After a nervy seven minutes of injury time, the final whistle signalled an emotional reaction from Postecoglou and the club’s players and fans.
