JOHNSON HITS THE GOAL TRAIL AGAIN AS SPURS WIN AGAIN IN EUROPE

Substitute Brennan Johnson continued his recent hot-streak as a youthful Tottenham maintained their perfect start to life in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-1 victory at Ferencvaros.

Ange Postecoglou named four teenagers in his starting XI in a much-changed team from the side that thumped Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend.

It looked like it may backfire early on as the Hungarian outfit dominated and saw a goal from Barnabas Varga chalked off for offside.

Spurs took full advantage of the reprieve and Pape Sarr broke the deadlock on 23 minutes when he fired home following a mix-up in the home team’s defence.

Guglielmo Vicario produced a fine fingertip stop to keep out Matheus Saldanha following the restart while Timo Werner and 19-year-old debutant Will Lankshear went close at the other end.

Spurs eventually notched a second when Johnson rolled a low shot into the corner four minutes from time to make it five goals in his last five appearances.

Varga then set up a nervy finale with a super volley at the near post but the visitors held on to make it two wins from two in Europe.

Tottenham will now look to maintain their current momentum when they visit Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.
