Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has backed Ange Postecoglou to remain in charge after Wednesday’s emotional Europa League triumph. Postecoglou has been under huge pressure all season and even admitted last month the “general sentiment” was he would leave the club even if he claimed European glory.

Many said they felt a deep sense of pride when they saw Korea's flag draped around the 32-year-old, shortly after Tottenham won the Europa League championship in Spain on Wednesday, with one online user saying they "almost burst into tears" and another calling him a "national treasure".

Striker Son Heung-Min was among the Tottenham players left without a winner's medal during the awards ceremony for the Europa League final on Wednesday.
