Tottenham Hotspur forward Brennan Johnson, who scored the only goal of the game as his side defeated Manchester United 1-0 in Wednesday’s Europa League final, said that lifting the trophy erased the disappointment of an otherwise dismal season.

Johnson bundled in a scrappy goal in the 42nd minute en route to Spurs’ first silverware since they won the 2008 League Cup and their first European title since 1984.
“I’m so happy right now,” said a smiling Brennan.
“This season hasn’t been good at all, but I swear not one of us players right now cares about that.
“This is what it’s all about, This club hasn’t won a trophy for 17 years.
“Honestly, this is what it means. It means so much. All the fans get battered, we get battered, for not winning a trophy, for not winning anything. But we had to get the first one in a while today. I’m so happy,” he told TNT Sports.
