Tottenham Ends 17-Year Trophy Drought Winning Europa League Final

Tottenham Hotspur ended a 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao, thanks to a controversial goal by Brennan Johnson just before halftime. The goal, which involved the ball bouncing off a Manchester United player's arm before crossing the line, was the decisive moment in a scrappy match between two struggling Premier League sides. Tottenham's victory sparked jubilant celebrations both at the San Mames stadium and back home at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Manager Ange Postecoglou, who had faced criticism, was hailed for bringing Tottenham back into the trophy-winning spotlight, joining the ranks of legendary Spurs managers. The win contrasts with the club's previous near-misses under various managers, including Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho, who failed to end the trophy drought despite reaching several finals. Meanwhile, the future of both Postecoglou and Manchester United's coach Ruben Amorim remains uncertain, with the final's outcome heavily influencing their job security.
