Ange Postecoglou told trophy-starved Tottenham fans that he ALWAYS wins silverware in his second season. And the former Celtic boss emphatically fulfilled his promise after leading Spurs to Europa League glory.

BILBAO, Spain - When Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 4-3 in a chaotic League Cup quarter-final this season manager Ange Postecoglou railed against criticism of his cavalier tactics and said grinding out 1-0 wins was just not the way he does business.

Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers enjoyed watching Ange Postecoglou reintroduce his former club to silverware after discovering the addictive taste of success under the Australian himself. Carter-Vickers watched Postecoglou lead Tottenham to Europa League glory on Wednesday and end a 17-year wait for a trophy.

"I always win things in my second year," said Ange Postecoglou, who hopes to guide Tottenham to glory in the Europa League final.
