Spurs End Drought: Europa League Glory Sends North London Wild
Tottenham Hotspur have finally got their hands on silverware, ending the 17‑year wait in dramatic fashion. In Bilbao, Spurs edged Manchester United 1‑0 to lift the Europa League — their first major trophy since 2008.
Brennan Johnson’s deflected 42nd‑minute strike was enough to break the deadlock. The goal may have had a bit of luck, but Spurs fans didn’t care. The full-time whistle saw half the squad in tears and Ange Postecoglou fist-pumping like a man possessed.
United, flat and uninspired, barely mustered a shot on target. Bruno Fernandes looked lost, while Rashford’s poor run continued. Spurs were the better team—hungrier, sharper, and simply more up for it.
North London erupted. Pubs from Wood Green to White Hart Lane were packed, and by midnight, the high streets echoed with chants of “Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that!”
