UEFA have released a statement to explain why Tottenham captain Son Heung-min was among three players to initially miss out on Europa League winner's medals in a bizarre mishap during the trophy presentation.

Ange Postecoglou's side earned a 1-0 victory over Man United at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao on Wednesday night.

Brennan Johnson's first half goal proved the difference on the night as Spurs ended their 17-year trophy drought.

The wait to receive winner's medals was briefly extended for three Tottenham stars, including captain Son.
