00:00the 2025 UEFA Europa League final is upon us Pedro Porro from right fullback for Tottenham
00:12up towards Solanke outjumped by Yoro and here is Ahmad and Bruno Fernandes
00:22Porro
00:22Solanke tight to Maguire it's a steal from Brennan Johnson Johnson thrashed back in by Saar and Maguire made the block
00:37that's Rory at the back of Richarlison and Tottenham have a free kick it's about whether he's got the final
00:48ball in that instance it's up and straight to Atto now and not dragged back on the floor for
00:53a player to trail the six-yard box
00:57Boylan jostling Bruno Fernandes to play it in it reached Maguire and now Ahmad has flashed it right
01:08across the face he wants a corner he's not getting one really smart feet isn't it
01:14the ball again winds its way all the way to the far post
01:22the carrier coming and flapping but when he lands at the feet of Ahmad just a little chip which sets him
01:26up just get a fingertip the carrier but nothing to really cement himself coming out and tidying up the
01:33situation is absolutely hammered across the six-yard box
01:37Dogu
01:40Dogu hung it up as well he was waiting to meet it and Dogu nicked it clear as far as Ahmad
01:46and now Fernandes and Vicario clings on
01:49see Hoyland's just making the point that he wants the ball whipped in earlier couldn't get on the end of
01:53that nowhere near quick enough or in the right place at the right time to understand where Fernandes is
01:58going to go with the ball back into the box
02:04so once more and Johnson's in there
02:10Ant Hodden struck first on the big night
02:16Brennan Johnson right on the line it's a glorious ball into the box that causes all of the problems
02:24it's just the angle of a right footer coming in from the left as a ball angled right at the heart of
02:31the Man United defense and I said just a few moments ago that Tottenham fans were enduring this certainly
02:37now they're going to enjoy are they big smile on the face of Brennan Johnson he's always a threat
02:42he will always always track that back post this time though he comes from such a wide position to
02:48get all the way across akin to a centre-forward run isn't it right in the centre of the box
02:54all it needs is a touch it's not the prettiest goal you're ever going to see
02:59in fact you're struggling there to work out who on earth is touching it at the very last
03:04there's an arm from Shaw
03:05and then maybe a toe from Johnson
03:15nice draw we was caught by Richarlison right under the nose of the referee's assistant
03:21whose flag has brought winner the card he's been trying to get booked for the best part of what
03:25feels like 25 minutes doesn't it Richarlison getting closer and closer that's just ridiculous
03:30lifted in by Fernandez Riccario came Hoyland couldn't get access to it
03:38and Sar can hook it out
03:42almost a toe on the end really difficult ball to deal with for the Spurs goalkeeper
03:49it's an inadvertent save more than anything isn't it hits him
03:55Ahmad
04:00kick by Son, Basuna is in the face of the referee and being cautioned
04:09again it's needless the attraction attention isn't it easy one for the referee to go and give because
04:13it's Son that makes a foul Basuna's reaction is the one that draws the card
04:19Fernandez plays it in, Vicario couldn't keep it, Highland off the line Van der Ven
04:24Jaro
04:29and smuggled away for Son
04:32that was some clearance and he is still writhing in the goal mouth Mickey van der Ven
04:38he saved a goal but he's done himself damage
04:43utterly needless as well from Spurs' point of view
04:45the carrier looks shell-shocked because that is a situation that he's got total control of
04:52it's his own defender that puts him off but that as a goal line clearance it's as good as a goal isn't
04:58it goalkeeper makes a complete mess of it look at this though we know he's quick across the ground
05:04it's quick through the air he flew and he actually got caught up in the rigging
05:20and that's his first touch
05:21it's a huge chance simply huge chance for United
05:30gets the angles wrong almost doesn't quite place where he is
05:34it's a good contact but it's a contact a couple of foot wide isn't it
05:38to scare Vicario too much
05:42been a night of nearly but not quite for United hasn't it of half chances
05:46you're his header by Fernandes welcomed in by Xerxe
05:51Fernandes again scooped out towards Garnaccio beyond whom goes Dorgu
05:57Alejandro Garnaccio Vicario got across
06:01Manchester United's corner they're turning up the wick
06:06instantly into it Garnaccio just what United need there's a decoy run down his left which allows
06:11him to come back inside on his right
06:13from the goalkeeper who's looked occasionally nervous on the night that's a very good save
06:23gone in very hard here and the referee has some interpreting to do
06:29Romero is reeling Maguire's having his name taken he is wound up and some
06:34well on first sight it doesn't look anywhere near as
06:42sinister as Romero's making out but he's playing the game perfectly isn't he
06:47drawing the foul from Harry Maguire winding him up as well
06:51Delo now or never for Manchester United what a save Vicario and that may win the final Luke Shaw
07:04thundering through the crowd it's just utter torture isn't it both sets of fans going through
07:10the ring are all the players back the goalkeepers up as well are we going to see some last second carnage
07:17Ahmad's delivery overhead is into the side netting and behind
07:27my word there's one part of the stadium here thinking that that hit the back of the net
07:39look at that is that every single player in the six yard box bar in the corner taker
07:43casemiro's acrobatics
07:50how they have waited how they have thirsted glory glory Tottenham Hotspur
07:58Spurs have gone and done it at last
08:03Ange Postacoglu has delivered as he promised he would
08:08Manchester United are left with nothing but a pile of regrets and what might have been
08:18Tottenham's 17 year trophy drought is over and 41 years since the last time Spurs are bringing home
08:28a European prize one goal one goal of zero aesthetic quality has brought beauty and joy
08:40to all those of a Tottenham inclination Brennan Johnson can claim to be match winner
08:48but for now the thrill is in the moment in 2025 Spurs have won the Europa League beating Manchester United
08:58in Bilbao by one goal to nil
09:04in 2025 the Europa League winners are Tottenham Hotspur
