Tottenham Hotspur are back in the big time after winning a European trophy for the first time in over four decades – but the victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final has also brought a significant financial reward.
It has been a season of ups and downs for Tottenham Hotspur this campaign as they have struggled domestically all season, currently sitting in 17th in the Premier League table, a single place above the relegation zone.
However, the season is now sure to end on a high after the Lilywhites secured the Europa League title, beating Manchester United 1-0 in Spain at the San Mames Stadium, booking a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Brennan Johnson’s goal was enough on the night, as Tottenham ended a nearly two-decade wait for silverware, after they last won a trophy back in 2008 against Chelsea in the League Cup.
