The cracks the Europa League lustre could not hide

Tottenham's euphoric players stepped off the plane the day after the night before and ventured straight into central London.

The squad, according to well-placed sources, ended up in trendy London nightspot Mistress of Mayfair to mark the club's Europa League final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao.

Once there, the players frantically waved white table handkerchiefs above their heads to a live rendition of Freed From Desire expertly played by the in-house saxophonist.

Their manager, Ange Postecoglou, was elsewhere - having a separate celebration in the capital.
