The Europa League final in Bilbao saw a lackluster first half filled with mistakes and nervous play. Tottenham managed to break the deadlock three minutes before halftime through a fortunate own goal from Luke Shaw, credited to Brennan Johnson's cross attempt. Despite some early tension, Spurs' goal highlighted defensive miscommunication, notably concerning Dorgu's failure to communicate with Shaw. Such inexperience at this critical juncture proved costly, contributing to Tottenham's lead and their pursuit of a European trophy and Champions League qualification.
Dorgu, at no point does he talk to Luke Shaw, Ferdinand told TNT Sports. You always need that help. Maybe it's inexperience; a more experienced full-back doesn't let him know.
By the time he realises and sees the white shirt flash across him, it's too late and the ball ends up in the back of the net.
