Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has won the Europa League with Tottenham Hotspur.
His side have beaten Manchester United by a goal to nil in the final in Bilbao this evening.
A first-half goal courtesy of Welshman Brennan Johnson eventually proved the difference between the sides.

After leaving Celtic almost two years ago, Postecoglou has ended Spurs' 17-year trophy drought. Tonight's Europa League triumph is also the first piece of European silverware the club has won since 1984.
It means they have qualified for next season's Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup final on August 13 against either Paris Saint-Germain or Inter Milan.
As well as making Spurs history, Postecoglou has become the first manager to have won a European trophy after leaving Celtic.
Greats such as Brendan Rodgers, Jock Stein and Martin O'Neill haven't managed to achieve such a feat.
Earlier this campaign, Postecoglou said he always wins things in his second season at clubs, a claim he was, at the time, lambasted for. He has more than proved himself right.
