Spurs brought down to earth after Europa glory as Brighton secure big win
Dominic Solanke put Spurs ahead after 17 minutes to continue the feel-good factor after Wednesday's 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao ended a 17-year wait for silverware. With uncertainty over the future of Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, the Australian would have been eager to end a horrid domestic campaign with one final victory, but Jack Hinshelwood struck twice in quick succession after the break for the visitors. Spurs fans serenaded head coach Ange Postecoglou followed Wednesday's Europa League triumph (John Walton/PA) It was followed by a late third by Matt O'Riley's penalty before Diego Gomez struck a superb fourth in stoppage time to help Brighton finish eighth, but that was not enough to secure European football. Defeat for Spurs meant they recorded a lowest ever Premier League finish of 17th, but the full-time whistle was blown with home supporters waving flags and singing for the team following their European triumph. Tottenham were back in action after their historic victory at San Mames and, despite three days of celebrations, Postecoglou started eight players from Wednesday. This included midweek hero Brennan Johnson, who had been the last to leave the stage during a euphoric open-top bus parade on Friday night. A sea of blue and white flags greeted Spurs onto the pitch before a predictably sluggish start followed, with Simon Adingra dragging an early shot wide for Brighton and Mats Wieffer then sent an effort over. Jack Hinshelwood (second right) celebrates with his team mates after scoring his second goal (John Walton/PA) It took only four minutes for Postecoglou to be serenaded by the home fans and, with quarter of an hour played, Spurs were awarded a spot-kick. Mathys Tel was caught in the penalty area by Wieffer and Solanke stepped up to lift the ball into the roof of the net to make it 1-0 after 17 minutes. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, captain in the absence of Son Heung-min, kept out a Hinshelwood header at the near post in the 30th minute before the hosts should have added a second goal. A lightning counter-attack allowed Pedro Porro to play in Tel, but his low left-footed shot was saved by Bart Verbruggen seven minutes before half-time. Incredible support today 👏 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) May 25, 2025 Changes were made by both head coaches at the break, with Kaoru Mitoma introduced for the Seagulls and it immediately paid off. Mitoma forced a corner and Brajan Gruda's delivery ricocheted to Hinshelwood, who steered past Vicario from close range in the 51st minute. It sparked a frantic period, with Brighton substitute Gomez denied by Vicario before at the other end Tel raced past Wieffer to set up Johnson, but he side-footed wide. The visitors continued to press and, after Vicario tipped over a fierce Yankuba Minteh strike, Carlos Baleba had a low effort deflected onto the post from another corner. Postecoglou sensed Spurs' dip in energy but, before a triple substitution could be made, Hinshelwood made it 2-1 after 64 minutes. Tottenham failed to deal with another Gruda corner and Hinshelwood pounced quickly to back-heel past Vicario. Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison were sent on with 25 minutes left, but the Seagulls made sure of the points when O'Riley fired past Vicario from the penalty spot after Bissouma brought down Gomez. Gomez concluded the scoring with a sumptuous 25-yard strike in stoppage time, but the Tottenham fans rallied around the squad with flags being waved to celebrate a first European title in 41 years.

Tottenham beat Manchester United to land Europa League glory in Bilbao
Tottenham ended their 17-year trophy drought and sent misfiring Manchester United into a tailspin as under-fire Ange Postecoglou oversaw a 1-0 victory in Wednesday's all-or-nothing Europa League final. It has long been a case of Bilbao or bust for these teams considering their wretched Premier League campaigns, with the San Mames showpiece offering the winner silverware and much-needed Champions League qualification. Spurs edged this tense all-English final, with Brennan Johnson's goal, thanks in no small part to a touch from Luke Shaw, Micky van de Ven's goal-line clearance and Guglielmo Vicario's stoppage-time save seeing them win a first trophy since the Carling Cup in 2008. Beaming boss Postecoglou silenced the critics – temporarily at least – as he stuck to his word by winning a trophy in his second season, while United will now spend a first campaign without European football since 2014-15. Ruben Amorim's already tough rebuild becomes that much harder without Champions League qualification after the Red Devils lost a first Europa League match of the campaign at the worst possible time. It compounds their worst top-flight season since suffering relegation 51 years ago, but this is Tottenham's night as Postecoglou's men joined the UEFA Cup winners of 1972 and 1984 in immortality. The first period flew by in a blur with few clear-cut chances, with Spurs having some early Onana was relieved that Noussair Mazraoui stopped a threatening early Pedro Porro cross reaching Richarlison, having been drawn off his line. United's goalkeeper stopped a Johnson cross-shot and Pape Sarr's follow-up was blocked, as was a Richarlison attempt as Spurs pushed against a side for whom Amad Diallo looked the liveliest player. The forward was close to opening the scoring in the 16th minute, showing intelligence before flashing a shot across the face of goal – and just beyond Rasmus Hojlund – from a corner Vicario flapped at. The end-to-end encounter swung Spurs' way in the 42nd minute. Sarr, who had looked a doubt for the game, sent over a right-footed cross from the left that ricocheted off Shaw and seemingly took the slightest touch off Johnson. The ball squirmed past Onana, sparking pandemonium in the Spurs end. Bruno Fernandes saw an effort blocked before the break and after the interval Vicario just about dealt with a dangerous Fernandes free-kick that returning Leny Yoro got a toe on. Diallo was denied in the box and Harry Maguire saw off the threat of Dominic Solanke after meeting a pass with a heavy touch on the break that followed. The game was on a knife-edge and Van de Ven saved Spurs – and Vicario's blushes – in the 68th minute. Tottenham's goalkeeper flapped at a simple-looking free-kick and Rasmus Hojlund's header was looping in until the Dutchman's acrobatic goal-line clearance, with Yoro's follow-up blocked. Amorim turned to his bench in a bid to change the dynamics and substitute Alejandro Garnacho brought a save out of Vicario shortly after Fernandes headed wide. Spurs went to three at the back in a bid to batten down the hatches but tempers frayed and Shaw's header in added-time – brilliantly saved – and a Casemiro overhead kick into the side-netting were the closest United came to a leveller.
