Summary

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Benji Lanyado after Tottenham Hotspur make history in Bilbao.

Spurs beat Manchester United in the Europa League final to claim silverware, Champions League qualification and salvation this season. What now for manager Ange Postecoglou? And what now for Ruben Amorim amid the misery at Old Trafford?

Who will join Spurs in next season’s Champions League? Man City are almost there. Fates will be decided on the final day this Sunday, headlined by Nottingham Forest v Chelsea. Memories of Jesper Gronkjaer abound.

There could be a Conference League spot up for grabs for whoever finishes 8th between Brighton or Brentford.

Plus play-off final weekend, Arsenal players hitting double figures and the dirtiest players who never get booked.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
