The only goal of the match was scored by Brennan Johnson, after a delicate touch that sent the ball past goalkeeper Andre Onana at the end of the first half. From then on, the "Red Devils" were unable to find an equalizer and ultimately lost after 90 minutes of play.
"Every time you think things couldn't get any worse, they (Manchester United) prove otherwise," Keane commented after the match. "They've been easily beaten all season. They've had a few lucky breaks in European competitions this season, but not tonight. They simply played poorly, both the starting and substitute players."
One notable point is that MU failed to create a single shot on target until the final minute of the match, when Luke Shaw had a header but it didn't trouble the opposing goalkeeper. This lack of sharpness in front of goal is typical of a disappointing season for Ruben Amorim's team.

Statistics show that Tottenham only had 3 shots in the entire match, had a possession rate of only 27.7%, and completed 115 passes throughout the game. This further highlights MU's problem: they held possession for much of the game but failed to create enough pressure on the opponent's goal.
Roy Keane admitted Manchester United looked pathetic relying on Harry Maguire for goals. The trio of Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Amad Diallo were a major disappointment starting together. On the bench, Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho also failed to make a difference when they came on in the second half.
Manchester United entered the 2024/25 Europa League final with an impressive 14-match unbeaten run. However, the "Red Devils" suffered a harsh blow when they lost the decisive match against Tottenham, officially ending the season without any trophies and missing out on a place in next season's Champions League.
