Kick off
Tottenham get us started
9 Minutes Tottenham have started brightly they win the first corner but the ball is to close to the keeper who collects it
12 Minutes CHANCE Tottenham started brightly but Lazio should lead Zaccagni plays the ball in behind and Castellanos is through on goal with loads of time he will feel he should score but Vicario makes himself as big as possible and manages to push his shot round the post
17 Minutes Tottenham’s first shot of the game as Davies down the left plays the ball inside to Gray who has loads of space 30 yards out he drives forward a little bit then tries an effort from 25 yards but Provedel parries it away for a corner
36 Minutes Save, Nice move by Lazio see Lazzari cut it back to the edge of the box, he curls an effort towards the near corner but it is well saved by Vicario
Halftime and it is goal less at the break Lazio will be thinking they deserve to be winning as they have had the better chances here so far. For reference Solanke has touched the ball once and that was when kicking off the game
Lazio get the second half started
67 Minutes Lazio make the first change of the half as Dele-Bashiru is replaced by Dia
90 Minutes RED CARD. A reckless lunge from behind on Son sees Isaksen shown a straight red
Full time a truly dismal second half comes to an end and we go to extra time where Tottenham will have a man advantage

Q: Robbie victory in the Europa league final how good dos this feel?
Keane: It feels so amazing I am so proud of the team. We were up against a very good Lazio team and I thought we really dug in and other then that early chance where they countered us I thought we played very well. Listen its a cup final there were a lot of nerves but the team handled them really well and I’m just so happy to bring some silverware back here.
Q: Many will say it wasn’t a classic with two very well organised sides, what did you make of the game as a spectacle?
Keane: I think the first half was a game that was very open maybe a little to open from our perspective but the second half both teams were a bit nervous and I think we saw the defensive quality of both sides and we really cancelled each other out.
Q: Dominic Solanke’s only touch of the ball today was kicking off in the first half what are your thoughts on that?
Keane: We offered him little to no service. He has shown when he has the service he ca score goals but today maybe he could have done more but eh 1 touch in the game but he’s currently got hold of the trophy so I’m sure he won’t be to bothered by that stat
