Aaron Lennon could not hide his joy after watching Tottenham finally get their hands on European silverware again, revealing just how he celebrated the win.
Given how poorly Tottenham Hotspur performed in the Premier League last season, not many would have backed the club to end their trophy drought in the same campaign.
However, that was the case for Spurs, who managed to end a 17-year-long wait for a major piece of silverware, doing so in their worst-ever Premier League season in recent years.
Celebration, elation and happiness filled the white side of north London, as fans and the club celebrated their Europa League triumph, after beating Manchester United in the final.
Aaron Lennon reacts to Tottenham’s Europa League win
Tottenham are champions of Europe, and the last time fans of the Lilywhites could say that was four decades ago, in 1984, when they last won the Europa League.
With a trophy now in the cabinet after a nearly two-decade barren spell, Spurs’ banter era is well beyond them.
In a recent interview, former Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon opened up about how he celebrated Spurs’ Europa League win back on 21 May.

The winger stated that he was absolutely buzzing for the Lilywhites, despite being in the last title-winning side in 2008.
He said: “Absolutely buzzing for them. I said I was at that club for ten years – special place in my heart – and I was over the moon.
“I was literally jumping off my sofa. For them to get that win, I know how important it is for that football club and for the fanbase as well. They have been through so many years since we won a trophy, so it was an amazing day for the football club.”
