Paddy Power have delivered a fake trophy to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Their cheeky dig comes just hours before Spurs play in the Europa League final

Paddy Power have poked fun at Tottenham by delivering a fake trophy cabinet to their stadium ahead of the team's Europa League final against Manchester United.
Spurs will look to end their 17-year wait for silverware in Wednesday's final, having consistently fallen short of winning trophies in recent years.
Tottenham agonisingly missing out in the latter stages of competitions has become a running joke among rival fanbases, and now Paddy Power have got in on the act.
In the advert released on social media, the Paddy Power spokesman announced: 'In preparation for their Europa League final, Tottenham Hotspur have received delivery of a trophy cabinet, in case they actually win the thing.'
One of the supposed deliverymen then sticks the boot in by adding: 'We've designed this trophy cabinet especially for the club. It can take a maximum of one trophy, so we think that makes it futureproof.'
Much of the blame of Spurs' shortcomings has been placed at the feet of chairman Daniel Levy, with fans calling for him to pump more investment into the club or leave.
Paddy Power used this to make another dig at Spurs and Levy, with a second deliveryman joking: 'Well, Daniel Levy has kept the receipt so even if they do lose we'll just refund it and wheel it straight out of there. No harm done.'
Since winning their last trophy - the 2008 League Cup - Spurs have lost three finals.
They were beaten in the League Cup final by Chelsea in 2015 and Manchester City in 2021, while they also came off second best against Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final.
However, there are reasons for Spurs fans to be optimistic that they can win on Wednesday and have the final laugh.
Ange Postecoglou has declared that he 'always' wins silverware in his second season, and he is just one game away from delivering on his promise.
Meanwhile, Spurs also have a very strong recent record against United.
They have not lost to the Red Devils since 2022, and have won all three of their meetings this season.
