SPURS BASQUE IN EURO GLORY

Johnson makes it a night to remember for Ange in Bilbao

- From Jeremy Cross in Bilbao

TOTTENHAM turned their season from catastrophic to historic on a frantic but famous night in Bilbao.

One which saw Ange Postecoglou hand Spurs the perfect leaving gift before his expected exit as head coach a first trophy in 17 years and a place in the Champions League.

It came at the expense of a Manchester United side that subjected themselves to one final humiliation in an utterly shambolic and embarrassing campaign.

The implications of this crushing loss will be defining for all the wrong reasons. But more of that later because the evening belonged to Spurs.

Some of their travelling fans had never seen the team win silverware until now, thanks to Brennan Johnson's first-half goal at the crackling San Mames Stadium.
