Brennan Johnson does it again for Tottenham! Ange Postecoglou's much-changed side squeeze past Ferencvaros in Europa League

<p>The rain did little to dampen the spirits at the Ferencvaros Stadion as the hosts got off to a bright start against the Premier League side who rested several key players including James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and Micky van de Ven. They took just 16 minutes to beat Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks as Barnabass Varga diagonally headed down to beat the keeper in what looked like a poacher's finish. However, after a lengthy VAR check, the goal was chalked off as the forward's knee was deemed to be just offside.</p><p>After an almighty let-off, Spurs found the net in the 23rd minute, almost against the run of play, with Sarr slotting in from close range after the Ferencvaros defence failed to clear their lines. The goal boosted the morale of the visitors as they started to show more control and character while going forward with the ball. They could have had a penalty in their favour after Matheus Saldanha stuck out a leg to trip Pedro Porro but VAR decided otherwise.</p><p>The referee had to briefly stop the play after action resumed in the second half as Ferencvaros ultras lit up flares which engulfed the stadium in thick smoke. After the restart, Spurs resumed their dominance and Werner had a golden opportunity to double the advantage but the striker fluffed his lines in a one-on-one situation, much to the dismay of a frustrated Ange Postecoglou.</p><p>The Australian introduced Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Johnson in his search for the insurance goal and the manager's choice paid off. Four minutes from regulation time, Moore found Johnson at the edge of the penalty box and the forward took a touch to his left and then curled a measured effort that hit the bottom of the post and went in. Despite conceding late, the hosts did not allow their heads to drop and reduced the deficit through Varga in what ended up being only a consolation goal.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p><strong>Johnson </strong>came, he saw and he conquered. The forward was denied by the woodwork soon after he was brought on but he was rewarded for his perseverance as his strike proved to be the difference-maker between the two sides. He has now scored in his last five appearances across all competitions to turn around his season after a slow start.</p>

THE MVP

<p><strong>Timo Werner </strong>was handed a rare start but the German striker failed to make the most of the opportunity. He was mostly anonymous in attack and when he was put through on goal by Mikey Moore he was disappointing with his finish. Werner tried to go round the keeper but an atrocious touch did not help his cause and he ended up shooting into the side netting. Postecoglou had enough of him and the striker was immediately hooked off.</p>

THE BIG LOSER

<p>After maintaining the perfect start to their Europa League campaign, Tottenham will turn their attention back to the Premier League where they are set to face Brighton away from home on Sunday at Amex Stadium.</p>
