Tottenham Hotspur lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy after a shocking 1-0 win against Manchester United ; thus, ending a 17-year trophy drought. Spurs have not achieved a major silverware since 2008, which was marked by their win against Manchester United. This also fulfilled manager Ange Postecoglou 's bold prediction of a second-season success.
Postecoglou became the first Australian club manager to win a European trophy. To acknowledge the achievement, Mohamed Salah took to social media, through which he hinted at Postecoglou's earlier promise, branding it as the highlight of his triumph.
Postecoglou delivers on his second-season promise Brennan Johnson 's scruffy goal in the 42nd minute of the match was all Spurs needed to defeat Manchester United and clinch European glory during the showpiece clash at the San Mames stadium in Bilbao. Spurs forward Johnson bagged the club's opener after the ball fell into the goal off Shaw, and the Spurs held on to their lead till the final whistle.
For Postecoglou, it indeed was one for the books, considering he confidently proclaimed earlier in the season, "I usually win things in my second season." This statement, especially with the backdrop of Spurs' erratic form in the Premier League, raised eyebrows. The Australian tactician, however, has continued his remarkable record of having won trophies in his second seasons with South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, the Australian national team, Yokohama F. Marinos, and Celtic.
