Manchester United s own goal! Tottenham Hotspur Carnival: Leading 1-0 in the final, rushing to the championship

In the early morning of May 22, the UEFA Cup final started at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, and Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United. In the 42nd minute, Tottenham scored first, and the official confirmed that Luke Xiao had an own goal at the first time, but then changed the judgment to Brennan Johnson to score! Tottenham broke the deadlock and tens of thousands of people were caring.

This is a life-and-death battle that determines the success or failure of the two teams. In the Premier League, Manchester United ranks 16th and Tottenham Hotspur 17th. Tottenham defeated Manchester United in the first three matches this season. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur lined up the tridents of Richarlison, Solank and Brennan Johnson, while Son Heung-min sat on the bench; Manchester United were the tridents of Hoylen, Mount and Armad Diallo.

There is no test. Both sides attack at the beginning, with a very fast pace, but the turnover rate is also very high. In the 16th minute, Manchester United made a cross from a corner kick, Vicario hit the ball, and Amade's shot missed from a small angle.

Amad's breakthrough is Manchester United's most sharp offensive weapon. In the 30th minute, Amad changed directions and waved past Udoji, but unfortunately his shot from a small angle was blocked from the bottom line.

Spurs' possession rate is at a disadvantage, with a 30% pass error rate, which has led to a hindered attack everywhere. Without Son Heung-min's breakthrough and no room for sprint, it would be difficult for Tottenham to launch counterattacks and fast attacks. However, in the 42nd minute, Tottenham broke the deadlock:

Sal sent a cross, and in the penalty area, Brennan Johnson scored a mistake. Luke Shaw, who was standing in front of the goal, touched the ball, and the ball entered a blind spot in the chaos, and Tottenham led 1-0!

Tottenham Hotspurs gained a 1-0 advantage, and the 15,000 Tottenham fans at the San Mames Stadium celebrated wildly! In the life-and-death battle that concerns the fate of the season, Tottenham led 1-0. How could fans not be crazy? Manchester United can't blame Lukesha for losing the ball. Under complicated circumstances, Lukesha couldn't dodge. Goalkeeper Onana didn't have much responsibility either. The ball got into a dead corner, and Onana couldn't do anything.

The goal was determined to be an own goal in the first time. This is the third time in the history of the Europa League. Lukaku in 2020 (Inter Milan), Gianluca Mancini in 2023 (Roma), and Luke Shaw in 2025 (Manchester United), all became "unlucky guys". However, UEFA then changed his judgment and was determined to be Brennan Johnson's goal.
