Tonight in Bilbao, the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham is underway, and a truly extraordinary moment unfolded midway through the second half.

Details: In the 69th minute, with the Spurs leading 1-0, Manchester United had a golden chance to level the score, but Ange Postecoglou's side was bailed out by center-back Micky van de Ven.

After a corner, Rasmus Højlund capitalized on a rare mistake by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who misjudged his run out, leaving the net almost completely exposed. Højlund fired at what looked like an open goal, but Van de Ven, with a sensational leap, managed to clear the ball off the very line with a stunning kick.

Reminder: As a result of conceding in the first half, Manchester United set yet another unwanted record this season.
