News about Brennan Johnson

The Premier League is back this weekend after the second international break of the season and we're straight into a mouthwatering gameweek of fixtures. Chelsea face a huge test of the Enzo Maresca project on Sunday as they travel to Liverpool in what is the standout game of the weekend, while the under-fire Erik ten Hag will be desperate for a victory against Brentford. Meanwhile, the likes of Ipswich, Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace are all still searching for their first win of the campaign, with Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool hoping to keep to the pace at the top of the table.

After their heartbreaking 3-2 defeat at the hands of Brighton in their last Premier League fixture before the international break, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back ahead of Saturday's all-London showdown against West Ham.  Ange Postecoglou's side are favoured to get the job done on home soil - with Spurs heavy favourites at 1/2 to secure their fourth win of the season and first league win over the Hammers in over 18 months. Conversely, West Ham are 9/2 underdogs to cause the upset in north London, while a draw is priced at 18/5 odds.

Amanda Staveley has reportedly set her sights on a replacement for Ange Postecoglou should she secure a stake in Tottenham and the club's form continue to stutter. Staveley departed her role as a director at Newcastle United in the summer nearly three years after she helped push through Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's £305million takeover of the club alongside her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi. Although the exit from Newcastle left her 'devastated', Staveley has actively sought a return to football.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT LAUGARDALSVOLLUR: On the one hand, a point away from home against Iceland, who beat England at Wembley in June, is a decent result for a team in a rebuilding phase. Yet Wales' second-half display will give Bellamy plenty to think about as they prepare to face Montenegro in Cardiff on Monday. Two up at the break thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson - his seventh in as many games - and Harry Wilson, Wales were as bad in the second half as they had been impressive in the first.

Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost as part of their Player Stat Accas market for selected UEFA Nations League fixtures taking place tonight. Valued at enhanced odds of 3/1 - the bet requires Brennan Johnson, Serge Gnabry and Xavi Simons to each have a shot on target. For those interested in the boost - Johnson's Wales are away against Iceland, Gnabry's Germany battle Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Netherlands clash with Hungary.

Brennan Johnson has been one of the in-form stars of the season after netting in six games on the bounce for Tottenham, and as such Sky Bet have offered a Price Boost on the Welsh forward to score or assist against Iceland.  Wales will face Iceland in Reykjavik on Friday night, looking to continue their unbeaten start to the Nations League campaign after two strong opening performances.  Wales drew their opening game of the campaign against the 10 men of Turkey at home in a 0-0 stalemate, before a 2-1 win on the road against Montenegro. 

James Maddison has made an honest admission about Tottenham's mentality following their 3-2 defeat against Brighton. Maddison scored in the first half to make it 2-0 after Brennan Johnson had given Tottenham the lead. However, Tottenham, remarkably, ended up losing 3-2 as Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck scored for Brighton.

Tottenham extended an unwanted record as they lost 3-2 away to Brighton. Ange Postecoglou's side had established a two-goal lead after Brennan Johnson and James Maddison scored in the first half. However, Tottenham fell apart in the second period and Brighton took full advantage as they won the game in dramatic fashion.

BRIGHTON 3-2 TOTTENHAM- MATT BARLOW AT THE AMEX: End of the pier football, we might call it. Breathless and frenzied. Littered with errors. Blurring the senses and delivering a thrilling entertainment by the seaside. Tottenham, two up and cruising at the interval through Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. Slick and aggressive, they might easily have been further ahead. Brighton fought back and made their visitors look amateurish at the back. Goals by Yankuba Minteh and Georginio Rutter levelled and Danny Welbeck headed in the winner.

AADAM PATEL AT THE AMEX STADIUM: Danny Welbeck always offered a threat and should have scored in the first half but missed a sitter. Never stopped though and was in the right position to head in the winner. It's amazing what confidence can do for a player. Brennan Johnson has six goals in six for Spurs - becoming the first player to do that since Harry Kane in 2019. A lovely finish to give his side the lead and in fairness, should have had another before the break which would have put the game to bed but he skied over when he only had the keeper to beat. Will be kicking himself for missing that.

Brennan Johnson has equalled a record set by Harry Kane as his incredible form in front of goal continued in Tottenham's clash with Brighton. After coming under fire from fans following Spurs' defeat in the north London derby last month the 23-year-old has embarked on the prolific run of his career to date. At the Amex on Sunday Johnson found himself through on goal after a sublime ball from Dominic Solanke and duly swept his strike beyond Bart Verbruggen to give the visitors the lead.

Tottenham Hotspur are 5/4 favourites with Sky Bet to make it three straight wins in the Premier League today - as Ange Postecoglou's side travel to American Express Stadium to take on Brighton. Conversely, the Seagulls are marginal outsiders 17/10 to secure the win in enemy territory, while a draw is valued at 29/10 odds .

Harry Maguire has urged his Manchester United teammates to 'take responsibility' for the team's dire form as pressure continues to mount on beleagured boss Erik Ten Hag. The centre-back proved the unlikely hero on Thursday night after his last-minute header rescued a point against Porto in a chaotic 3-3 draw in the Europa League . Intense scrutiny was already focussed on the Red Devils after a humiliating 3-0 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur just four days earlier which saw goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke sink a woeful United. Maguire has been left out in the cold this season, not starting a Premier League match since the Old Trafford side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Brighton on August 24.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has leapt to the defence of Timo Werner, declaring 'he's not hopeless'. Werner is yet to score for Tottenham this season despite finding himself in prime goalscoring opportunities. The German was denied twice by Andre Onana when he was put through on goal during Tottenham's resounding 3-0 win over Manchester United last Sunday.

Liverpool have a shot at taking a four-point advantage over their Premier League title rivals this weekend as they get us going in the 12:30pm Saturday kick-off against Crystal Palace. Gameweek 7 also offers peril if you're connected with Manchester United , particularly if your name is Erik ten Hag . The Red Devils face a trip to Aston Villa and a negative result could spell time on the Dutchman's Old Trafford reign. Erling Haaland didn't score last weekend against Newcastle, believe it or not, but still costs you the prettiest penny out of all with a price of £15.3million.

Former Bolton Wanderers veteran David Wheater took a cheeky swipe at Matthijs de Ligt and claimed he was better than the Manchester United defender despite being '20kg overweight'. De Ligt joined the Red Devils in a £60million deal from Bayern Munich as he became the latest ex-Ajax player to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. However, the Dutch defender has endured a tough start to life since joining United and had a difficult evening in the club's 3-3 draw against Porto on Thursday.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou achieved a significant feat as he guided his side to victory in the Europa League on Thursday. Postecoglou's team won 2-1 away to Ferencvaros to maintain their winning start to their Europa League campaign. Pape Matar Sarr put Tottenham ahead before Brennan Johnson added another goal late on, with the visitors prevailing despite Barnabas Varga netting for Ferencvaros.

MATT BARLOW AT THE GROUPAMA ARENA: Postecoglou's teens were Archie Gray, who spent the first half in central defence before switching to left back and was wonderfully composed and unruffled in both roles, and Lucas Bergvall in midfield, both 18. Mikey Moore at 17 was making his first start, initially wide on the right and later on the left. Will Lankshear, 19, made his debut up front. Lankshear, signed for £2million from Sheffield United in 2022, was prolific for Tottenham's Under-21s last season.

Tottenham's Europa League game away to Ferencvaros was delayed due to poor visibility. The game was halted as a result of flares set off by home supporters, with the delay lasting for around a minute.  

SAMI MOKBEL: Slumped in his chair in the immediate aftermath of Tottenham's north London derby defeat, Brennan Johnson reached for his phone. He scrolled. He scrolled some more. Before he knew it, Johnson was lost in an abyss of social media hate. Not only that, the abuse was from accounts purporting to be Tottenham fans. Later that night, after seeking advice from loved ones, he took a decision to deactivate his Instagram account.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is 'waiting to take over' from fellow Dutchman Erik ten Hag at Manchester United following the side's humiliating 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham, his old foe Martin Keown has suggested. The Red Devils endured a miserable Sunday afternoon as they were convincingly torn apart by Ange Postecoglou's side at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke. The ordeal piled further pressure on beleaguered boss Ten Hag whose two-year spell at the club appears to be drawing to a close, with United sitting 12th in the table.

Micah Richards has offered a brutal analysis of Man United's starting XI after they suffered a humiliating defeat against Tottenham on Sunday. After a stumbling start to the season, Erik ten Hag's side entered the showdown at Old Trafford in search of a victory from which to build on against one of their rivals for a European place. However, a goal from Brennan Johnson after just three minutes quickly dampened those hopes any the evening only deteriorated from there.

Tottenham poked light-hearted fun at darts superstar and Red Devils supporter Luke Littler (left) following their dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Ange Postecoglou 's side celebrated a famous win over Erik ten Hag 's disappointing hosts as Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all got on the scoresheet.
