They say it does not matter how you score, as long as the ball goes in but, even so, Brennan Johnson may be feeling pretty fortunate that he has gone down in history as Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final match-winner.

The ball appeared to go in off Manchester United defender Luke Shaw when Johnson made with Pape Matar Sarr's cross into the box during the first half of Spurs' 1-0 win in Bilbao.

Perhaps somewhat generously, though, Uefa credited the goal to Johnson. The scruffiest of goals, but the sweetest of memories for the Wales forward to cherish before his 24th birthday on Friday.

"I knew I touched it a bit [for the goal], but not clean, then I looked up and the ball was trickling in the goal," Johnson told TNT Sports after the game.

"[In the last five minutes] I couldn't watch. I was just asking 'how long left">
