That's all from our live coverage of the final. Thanks for following it with us!
Son Heung-min steps forward with the Europa League trophy to perform the ceremonial lift. Now the party can start for Spurs!
Both teams are lining up to receive their medals with United first up before Spurs do their winners' walk
Brennan Johnson speaking to TNT Sports after his trophy-winning strike
"I'm so happy right now, honestly. This season hasn't been good but none of the players care about that. This is what it means. It means so much. The fans get battered for us not winning a trophy but to get the first one in a while today, I'm so happy"
It seems Big Ange is definitely a man of his word!
FULL TIME! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd
They've done it! Spurs have clinched their first silverware in 17 years and a European title again after over 40 years. What an achievement for Ange Postecoglou's side, who will be in the Champions League next season
CHANCE!
The corner breaks for Garnacho, who sends a bicycle kick into the side netting.
One last throw of the dice for United, who have sent Onana up for it. Could they?
CHANCE!
Dalot's cross finds Shaw for a header which looked set to snatch an equaliser but Vicario produces a great save
CHANCE!
Yoro takes aim from outside the box but it's way over the bar. That might just be United's hopes extinguished.
Seven minutes' added time at San Mamés. They will feel like an eternity for Spurs fans
Maguire is involved but not in the way he would have liked as he picks up a booking for clattering Romero
Real go-for-broke time as United send Maguire up front. Can the defender become an unlikely hero again in this competition?
Mazraoui keeping United in this with a superb reading to stop Solanke breaking down on goal. Defenders are definitely making the difference in this showpiece
Real backs to the wall job for Postecoglou's men in the final 10 minutes as United keep pushing forward. They've been a lot sharper since Garnacho came on and it's now do or die territory
Talk about fine margins from the Spurs defender!
CHANCE!
What a clearance that is! Højlund looks all set to score but Van de Ven produces one of the best blocks on the line you'll ever see
CHANCE!
Maybe not so much containment! Udogie plays in Solanke but his first touch is poor and a huge opportunity to double Spurs' lead goes begging
Spurs going for the containment option in this half by the looks of things. José Mourinho would most definitely approve
CHANCE!
Amad does well to pick out Højlund in the box but he approaches it all wrong and sends a header wide
United with a mountain to climb in this half but it's a familiar tale
SECOND HALF!
We're back to it in Bilbao
HALF TIME! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd
There's joyous scenes at San Mamés for Spurs fans but they still have another 45 minutes to see out, especially against a team who have been tournament specialists
It's likely going to go down as a Shaw own goal but for now, Johnson has made Spurs history
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd
We finally have a breakthrough as Johnson opens the scoring
CHANCE!
Amad goes for goal but Richarlison's block takes the sting out of it for Vicario. The United playmaker taking a bit of a whack as he collides with his opposite number but seems OK to continue
We're now over half an hour in and there's still little between the sides
CHANCE!
Fernandes sends in a low cross but Vicario is able to cut it out. Wasn't far away, that one
CHANCE!
United finally turn the tables with Amad firing a shot across the face of goal
Really good defending from Mazraoui as Richarlison looks set to capitalise on a mistake by Onana but the United man is on hand to clear the danger
KICK OFF!
We're underway at San Mamés
The big news ahead of kick-off is that Son Heung-min doesn't make Spurs' starting XI due to not being fully match fit. It's a gamble by Ange Postecoglou while United boss Ruben Amorim has benched Joshua Zirkzee
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Europa League final. The trophy will be heading back to England tonight - but who with?
