The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rocked with scenes of joy and jubilation on Wednesday night as Spurs fans wildly celebrated their team’s Europa League final triumph over Manchester United in Bilbao.
The Premier League side, who held off the Red Devils after taking the lead through Brennan Johnson just before half time, finally called an end to their 17-year trophy drought – and fans back at home needed no second invitation to celebrate the remarkable feat.
As Ange Postecoglou’s heroes broke out on to the pitch at the San Mames stadium, Spurs fans who were watching from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London did the same, invading the field in their droves to toast the club’s first honour since winning the League Cup back in 2008.
