Long time coming for the Lilywhites

Spurs’ 1-0 victory over Man United in Bilbao on Wednesday night marks the end of a 41-year drought in the club’s European trophy cabinet.

While it has been 17 years since they won their last piece of silverware in the 2008 League Cup, this passed without a victory parade.

Tottenham’s streets were last treated to the open-top bus spectacle back in 1991, when the club lifted the FA Cup.

The long-suffering, now rewarded, Lilywhites are expected to take to the route in their droves.

How Spurs won the match

Simon Stone

BBC Sport chief football news reporter

Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy as Brennan Johnson's first-half goal was enough to beat Manchester United in the Europa League final.

The goal was scruffy, with some debate over whether Johnson got the last touch - and was totally in keeping with the tepid domestic seasons of these two underperforming sides, but no-one at Spurs will care about that.

On a night of clear tension and nerves, evident from both sides from the first minutes, and afflicting even the most experienced performers, it was always likely to require a little bit of luck to claim victory.

Up to that point, Tottenham had not had a shot on target. They were not to have another. It didn't matter a jot. In his 100th game as Spurs boss, Postecoglou got his second season trophy

From Seoul to Bilbao to London

Freddy Tennyson

BBC London

I’ve found Ji Lee and Youn Kim on the Weaver Line from Liverpool Street to White Hart Lane.

The pair travelled from South Korea to watch their beloved Tottenham Hotspur win in Bilbao. I say beloved lightly as it was Son Heung-Min that brought them there.

They spent the night outside their hotel on Wednesday and now they’re in Tottenham to celebrate with the fans.

What time and where will the route go?

The victory parade is expected to depart from Edmonton Green at about 17:30 BST and will trundle its way on the two-mile journey to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It will go southbound on the Broadway/Fore Street towards the High Road, eastbound past the stadium via Lansdowne Road, northbound via Willoughby Lane and end westbound via Northumberland Park.

The parade is expected to last between 60 and 90 minutes, finishing in the stadium's service yard adjacent to Sainsbury's on Northumberland Park.

There will be a DJ, live music and a "legend" Q&A session from 15:00 on a stage above the High Road outside the stadium on Paxton Terrace.

We’ll have reporters among all along the route and among the fans bringing you all the highlights
