Brennan Johnson produced an excellent performance in Tottenham’s 4-1 smashing of Ipswich Town last weekend
Tottenham Hotspur registered their third Premier League win on the bounce on Saturday when they smashed Ipswich Town 4-1. A brace from Brennan Johnson along with goals from Djed Spence and Dejan Kulusevski secured the win for the North Londoners.
Brennan Johnson starred in that game for the visitors. The forward gave Spurs an unassailable 2-0 during the opening 26 minutes with two clean finishes, marking his return from injury in style. It was his first start after missing seven games with a calf problem, and the Welshman repaid Ange Postecoglou’s faith with a superb display against Ipswich Town.
After the game, Ange Postecoglou praised Johnson’s display, citing his Tottenham team had missed another “front-third player like him” of late. The 23-year-old would have been delighted with his performance as well after an ill-timed injury last month stopped him in his tracks.
Spurs’ upturn in form has coincided with several key players returning from injury in recent times, and former Watford skipper Troy Deeney feels Johnson has been a big plus for Postecoglou’s side. The BBC Sport pundit claims that Tottenham look much more potent as an attacking force when the Wales international is on the pitch.
“Timely for him to be back with two good goals. Tottenham have missed his direct play and obviously, that goal threat that he carries. Spurs are looking a lot more like the real attacking threat we know they can be,” Deeney wrote in his BBC Sport column while selecting his Premier League team of the week.
Johnson has actually improved a lot in his second season at White Hart Lane. While many fans would say it has been a mixed bag of a campaign, one simply cannot ignore his productivity for Big Ange’s side. The Nottingham-born talent has scored 14 goals and supplied three assists in all competitions for Tottenham this season, as these goal contributions certainly cannot be underestimated.
The Welsh forward’s double against Ipswich took him three clear of Spurs’ next-highest goal scorer Dominic Solanke, illustrating just how vital he has been for our team. Big Ange will be hoping that Spurs’ No.22 continues to produce the goods in front of goal until the end of the season as we certainly need them, especially during Solanke’s injury absence.
