Tottenham Europa League victory parade: Son-Heung Min leads the celebrations

Thousands of jubilant Tottenham Hotspur fans lined the streets of north London on Friday in a victory parade to celebrate their Europa League win.

Captain Son Heung-Min led the celebrations, carrying the trophy on board, as an open-top bus made its way from Edmonton, north London to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A party atmosphere consumed the route with fans waving flags and lighting white flares.

Supporters sang 'Oh when the Spurs go marching in' and 'Johnson again, ole, ole' in honour of their match winner as the bus made its way through hordes of supporters.

Ange Postecoglou's side defeated Manchester United in Bilbao on Wednesday to lift their first trophy since 2008, and their first European honour in 41 years.

Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of a drab game to spark wild scenes at the San Mames Stadium and beyond.

Speaking on the bus, Son, who declared himself a club 'legend' after victory in Bilbao, said: 'The two days have gone so fast, with a lot of joy and happiness. It was incredible.

'I waited and waited. I dreamt for the moment. I'm so glad that I did it here in a Spurs shirt. Seventeen years and no one has done it. Our group has done it and I'm so proud.

'I'm very lucky it happened when I was captain. I'm so so happy. i don't know what to say'.

Micky van de Ven, who cleared a goalbound header from Rasmus Højlund off the line, joked he had only 'slept a bit' following their celebrations.

'I'm so emotional,' he said. 'What a season it's been for us. It's [been] so difficult but we got a trophy and I'm so happy and proud of the boys.

'If you experience this you want to do it over and over again. We need to try and do the same beautiful thing next season.'

Earlier in the season, Postecoglou confidently declared that he always wins a trophy in his second season and he delivered in on his word.

The manager teased a 'massive parade' during his post-match press conference on Wednesday night.

'What I do know is, I'll go back to my hotel room, get my family and friends together, open up a nice bottle of scotch, have a couple of quiet ones, get ready for a massive parade on Friday,' Postecoglou insisted.

Spurs did not hold a parade after their league cup victory in 2008, instead showing their trophy to fans ahead of a UEFA cup game against PSV Eindhoven.

Their 1991 FA Cup win was marked with a parade around the club's old White Hart Lane stadium.

Spurs sit in a lowly 17th in the Premier League but their season has been transformed by their Europa League victory.
