James Maddison kisses girlfriend Kennedy Alexa as Spurs stars celebrate with families on pitch after Europa League win
JAMES MADDISON kissed girlfriend Kennedy Alexa as Tottenham stars celebrated their Europa League triumph with their families.
Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 courtesy of a Brennan Johnson strike to win their first trophy in 17 years.
The dismal affair in Bilbao ended in joy for the north Londoners, with the victory also booking their spot in next season’s Champions League.
And as the final whistle rang out, raucous celebrations began from the visiting Tottenham fans in the stands.
While on the pitch, family members and loved ones joined jubilant Spurs stars to toast the historic occasion.
Midfielder Maddison was dressed in full kit to collect his gold medal.
The ace missed out on the matchday squad through injury.
But that didn’t stop Maddison from planting a loving kiss on partner Kennedy.
The pair have been together for four years and share three children together.
And Maddison scooped one of the sprogs in his arms to celebrate victory.

Tottenham ratings: Bissouma dominates Europa League final as occasion gets to Udogie
BRENNAN JOHNSON was Tottenham’s hero as they finally ended their 17-year trophy drought in the Europa League final.
Despite being without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski for the clash in Bilbao, Spurs came up with a massive win against Manchester United.
Johnson scored the goal as he helped bundle in from a corner in a tussle with Luke Shaw to send fans into dreamland.
But Spurs also owe a huge thanks to Yves Bissouma who was totally dominant in midfiend.
At the other end, Destiny Udogie struggled to get up to the pace of the match as he was up against Manchester United’s Amad Diallo.
Spurs had just three shots, only 27 per cent of the ball, and completed a mere 115 passes over 90 minutes.
But it didn’t matter, as United never really looked like finding a leveller to take it to extra time.
SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson gave his ratings for the Tottenham players…
While Yves Bissouma was all smiles with girlfriend Aline, who he’s been with since 2019, and his young daughter.
Elsewhere, Cristiano Romero paraded son Valentino on his shoulders as defensive pal Djed Spence partied with family members while clutching the Europa League trophy itself.
Micky van de Ven was in good spirits as he joined a family member on the field.
While manager Ange Postecoglou put on an emotional display with his wife and children.
The Spurs boss and wife Georgia reportedly met in the late 90s when he was in his first managerial role at Australian side South Melbourne.
They share three children together in James, Max and Alexi, with the latter two hugging Postecoglou on the pitch.
