Two flashpoints that saved and defined Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League glory
With less than a minute left in the Europa League final, Spurs fans watched on with baited breath.
A cross came in from United's Diogo Dalot, and just missed Joshua Zirkee, but didn't miss Luke Shaw. The left-back thundered a header towards goal but goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario had the reaction skills to parry it.
"What a save Vicario, and that may win the final," Peter Drury said on commentary.

The other came in the 68th minute.
Near halfway, Bruno Fernandes put a free kick into the box. It was too long.
However, Vicario was impeded by his own player Dom Solanke, and couldn't catch it cleanly.

The ball came to the head of Rasmus Højlund who pushed it towards goal.
Spurs defender Micky van de Ven raced back and produced a stunning mid-air clearance on the line.
"That was some clearance," Drury said.
Former Premier League player David Prutton added: "Utterly needless from a Spurs point of view. Vicario looks shellshocked and that is a situation he's got total control of ... that goal-line clearance is as good as a goal."
Tottenham held on to beat United 1-0 and clinch the Europa League title.
