Tottenham captain Son Heung-min left with battle scar following freak injury during Europa League final celebrations

Son Heung-min's long wait for a senior trophy ended with a bump and a scratch - literally.

The Tottenham captain lifted the Europa League trophy on Wednesday night as Spurs ended their 17-year hoodoo with a 1-0 win over Manchester United thanks to Brennan Johnson's goal.

But the forward, who started the game on the bench before replacing Richarlison, was not gifted a seamless celebration after 16 years of his career waiting for silverware.

First Son was denied a medal as UEFA ran out of their allocation for the ceremony, leaving him, Cristian Romero, and Rodrigo Bentancur to do the formal trophy lift without one, though they received some later.
