Tottenham Hotspur shock Manchester United to lift UEFA Europa League, qualifies for next season’s Champions League
New Delhi: Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0 to claim their first European trophy since 1972. At San Mames Stadium, Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of the day to give Nottingham Forest the win in the first half. Tottenham has now made it into the Champions League for their next season.
Tottenham’s Europa League victory, their first major trophy since 2008 when they lifted League Cup, provides a significant morale boost for the team, its manager Ange Postecoglou, and its supporters, especially given their current Premier League struggles.
A closely contested match saw few scoring opportunities for either team until Tottenham’s Pape Sarr’s 42nd-minute pass deflected off Manchester United’s Luke Shaw, allowing Brennan Johnson to score.
Manchester United mounted a late offensive push, culminating in a goal-line clearance by Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven from Rasmus Hojlund’s header in the 68th minute. Further pressure resulted in a strong save from Spurs’ goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, denying Luke Shaw’s attempt.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League final victory holds significant importance, particularly given their disappointing Premier League campaigns. Tottenham and Manchester United have struggled in the league this season, each holding down the 17th and 16th slots.
Manchester United’s sixteenth-place league standing means they will miss European competition next season. This year, Tottenham Hotspur has beaten Manchester United four times, making it seven straight wins against us. Being without a trophy since the 2024 FA Cup, the club must focus on progress to contest again for trophies.
