US EditionMan United, Tottenham take commanding leads in Europa semifinals
- Manchester United secured a 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at San Mames on Thursday in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals, while Tottenham recorded a 3-1 triumph on their own turf against Norway's Bodo/Glimt.
- Both teams aimed to turn around their disappointing league campaigns by competing for a trophy and securing a spot in next season’s top European competition through success in the Europa League.
- United took an early lead through Casemiro's header in the 30th minute before a VAR-reviewed penalty awarded for a foul by Dani Vivian, who was sent off, allowed Bruno Fernandes to double the lead and later score again before halftime.
- Fernandes netted his second goal by breaking through the defense and delivering a precise finish beyond goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala, bringing his season tally to 18 goals and 16 assists across all competitions.
- The commanding wins place United and Tottenham in strong positions ahead of the second legs next Thursday, with the Europa League final scheduled for May 21 in Bilbao offering an unlikely route to the Champions League.
