News about Brennan Johnson

JACK GAUGHAN AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Manchester City regained their standing at the top of the Premier League table, taking a two-point advantage over Arsenal, after Erling Haaland scored twice to give Pep Guardiola's side a 2-0 victory against Tottenham on Tuesday night.  For Spurs, the defeat meant that they will now miss out on Champions League qualification next season, with Aston Villa five points clear of Ange Postecoglou's side in fourth place, with a game to play.  A cagey first half saw both goalkeepers called into action, with Guglielmo Vicario producing a sensational save to deny Phil Foden's strike. At the other end of the pitch, Ederson denied Spurs an opener after Brennan Johnson wove his way into the Man City box before unleashing a strike towards the bottom-right corner of the goal, which the Brazilian sensationally kept out. He would later be substituted after suffering head injury in what was a sickening collision with Cristian Romero.  

Ange Postecoglou's side beat Burnley 2-1 on Saturday to relegate the Clarets and keep their faint Champions League hopes alive going into the final week of the season. Spurs have two games left to play, with the club travelling to bottom side Sheffield united next week for their final game of the season. Before that, they will host leaders Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday in a game that has left supporters split in their opinions due to the nature of the title race.

Nottingham Forest have lost their appeal against a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's financial rules, according to reports.  The decision, as per The Athletic, deals a blow to their hopes of avoiding relegation to the Championship as the club would have been hoping to get some of the points back. Forest currently sit 17th, just three points above the relegation zone.   The club were penalised for failing to stay in line with the Premier League's profitability and sustainability regulations. Forest, whose legal team was led by Nick De Marco KC, had said they were 'extremely disappointed' to be hit with a four-point sanction.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT ANFIELD: Mo Salah returned with a goal and assist before Liverpool held off an unexpected Tottenham comeback in Jurgen Klopp's penultimate game at Anfield. Liverpool were in rampant form and Spurs shambolic in the first hour as Klopp's side raced into a 4-0 lead. But the arrival of substitute Richarlison helped the visitors pull a couple of goals back to provide some late jeopardy. All eyes were on Salah before kick off after he was restored to Klopp's starting line-up after their bust-up at West Ham last weekend.

IVAN SPECK AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday and promoted Aston Villa to fourth place. As Ange Postecoglou celebrated another triumph, Mail Sport's Ivan Speck gives his player ratings from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Richarlison will miss Tottenham's match against Nottingham Forest at home on Sunday because of a back injury scare. Richarlison has appeared in Tottenham's last three league games as a substitute in the club's efforts to return him to full fitness. However, the forward will now be given time off in the hopes of boosting his recovery from a knee injury.

After admitting that Tottenham's decision making must be changed due to a goal by Kurt Zouma's as a tumultuous London derby ended all square, Ange Postecoglou joked that he'd like to control his players with a joystick. Spurs remain fifth in the Premier League, two points behind Aston Villa and nine others, and they face Chelsea on Thursday night.

In Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the London Stadium, David Moyes was impressed with his team's defense. In the fifth minute, the Hammers got off to a rocky start to the game, with Brennan Johnson giving the visitors the lead. However, they came back from Kurt Zouma and eventually had a chance to win the game.

Since drawing against West Ham on Tuesday, Joe Cole backed Tottenham to his fourth position in the Premier League and lockout a spot in next season's Champions League. Spurs must leapfrog Aston Villa and hold off any potential charges from Manchester United with just 11 points separating the three teams, requiring them to triumph.

In Tottenham's 1-1 draw away from West Ham, Brennan Johnson has chastised the team's lack of cutting edge. In the London derby, Tottenham took the lead, with Johnson finding the net in the fifth minute. However, the lead lasted just 14 minutes as Kurt Zouma equalized for West Ham. Tottenham had ample chances to regain control of the game, but they ultimately lost by just a single point from the match at London Stadium.

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE LONDON STADIUM: The points shared between the two teams made it a bit tense but ultimately settled at level. Brennan Johnson has been on fine form in recent weeks, and the Welshman rewarded Postecoglou's faith in him by stepping ahead of a poor Timo Werner to lead the visitors. However, the Hammers were not going to go back to bed, and captain Kurt Zouma managed to get his direct a Jarrod Bowen corner outside Guglielmo Vicario's courthouse to level proceedings.

GIRAN GILL: In a sprint down the touchline in honor of Jose Mourinho, Ange Postecoglou will never copy Jose Mourinho, claiming that such emotional eruptions are a waste of precious seconds when he has to be worrying tactically about what will happen next. Tottenham boss Kevin Harton was calm during the chaos when Heung-min Son scored in the 86th minute to lift Luton 2-1 on Saturday, with each of their last four victories coming from behind. Postecoglou made the time to plan a return by swapping Son for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as they aimed for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

MATT BARLOW AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Ange Postecoglou has denied the suggestion of a trend. 'They're all a bit different,' he said, but it's impossible to get out of Tottenham's recent home games and Brennan Johnson's effect from within. Despite losing first in five of them and Johnson has three goals and four assists, Spurs have won six of their last seven games at home.

MATT BARLOW AT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: The clock had ticked into the 86th minute when Heung-min Son recovered the ball deep in his own half and resurgented the enthusiasm for another forward run. Spurs had been hammered away in the second half, having fallen behind early in the game and then equalizing shortly after halftime. Timo Werner was released by his son and continued running. Werner made a change of pace and crossed the ball low from the left. Brennan Johnson poked it back, and the Spurs captain arrived to find the net with the help of a deflection.

IN CARDIFF, IAN HERBERT. Rob Page was incredibly upbeat in the face of defeat, as usual. 'All's fine.' Everything's great,' he said of his friendship with some of his Wales FA bosses, who less than six months ago, said his deal will be reviewed if the country did not qualify for the European Championships automatically. Following the shootout loss to Poland, the country hasn't qualified for the European Championships at all. And though Page painted a picture of himself as a central character in the forthcoming sequel, he has some troubling questions to answer about his game's administration today.

Nottingham Forest has reported that they have appealed a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability laws. In January 2024, Nuno Espirito's side, along with fellow Premier League team Everton, was charged with breaching spending rules. Forest also fell into the relegation zone as a result of the punishment, scoring 18th in the Premier League table, a point behind Luton in 17th.

Wales came one step closer to Euro 2024 on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over Finland in their play-off semi-finals. On a chilly night in Cardiff, Rob Page's side, who are aiming for their third straight European Championships, was up to the challenge. On Tuesday, the team will face Poland, with the winner of that crunch game likely to be promoted to Group D alongside Netherlands, Austria, and France at the tournament in Germany this summer.

AHEAD OF THE GOAL: In the middle of the criticism that they have received for allowing Nike to change the St George's Cross on England's new home kit, the FA will continue to enforce their ban on carrying national flags to Wembley other than those of the competing teams. On Saturday evening, police and stewards were told not to confiscate any flags or symbols that represent countries other than England or Brazil. Following the Hamas terrorist attacks and the resulting increase of violence in Gaza last October, the ban was introduced before England's match against Australia last October, with the FA aware of the need to minimize potential flashpoints between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: As Wales moved within 90 minutes of a spot at Euro 2024 by sweeping aside Finland, Brash Rob Page sent Robert Lewandowski and Poland a defiant message. For the third straight tournament, Lewandowski's men face Wales and qualification, while Page is full of hope. 'Bring it on,' Page says. I can't wait for Tuesday.' What more motivation do we need than to be one win away from another major tournament? The boys will be set.

The Euro 2024 play-offs and international friendlies, some of world football's most exciting players, will be playing today. As part of their Player Stat Accas market, Sky Bet is also offering a Price Boost. Alexander Isak, Robert Lewandowski, and Brennan Johnson all have double or more shots on target, up from 16/1 on Sunday.

Since joining Tottenham in a £47.5 million transfer from Nottingham Forest, the forward has had a fruitful season in the Premier League, scoring four goals and six assists. During this international break, he will now lead Wales into the European Championships in the summer. After playing for England at youth level, Johnson, 22, will face his country in his second major tournament with his country.

SIMON JORDAN: Financial control, such as it is, may lead to the demise of the Premier League if we are not careful. If we've gotten to the point where you can't believe the table until the accountants and lawyers have ruled, the excitement of the competition has descended on us. VAR, another so-called innovation, is another prime example of a good idea being mishandled. We can't believe the league table until a group of faceless attorneys have spent months in tribunals, in the same way that we can no longer properly honor goals until the traffic wardens of the referee fraternity have approved them. With all this mess, football is in danger of killing itself. If the game goes down, these road viewing numbers and excitement may decrease, and the game will then be facing an existential threat. We have to be extremely cautious with what we're doing to our game here.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: If relegation is not enough to compel Nottingham Forest to abandon their scattergun approach to transfers, maybe nothing will be. Forest was fined four points for going outside of the Premier League's profit and sustainability (PSR) rules on Monday, bringing their total score to 21 points and putting them into the bottom three. An appeal is being favored by an advocate, implying that the result of the relegation match could also be uncertain considering that all 38 games have been played.

MATT HUGHES: The Premier League has suspended Nottingham Forest four points for breaching Profit and Sustainability legislation. Forest, who released a strongly worded statement in response to their points deduction, hasn't been given a positive reception. The penalty, they said, had 'harmed their reputation and faith in the Premier League,' and that their fiscal laws would'destroy mobility in the football pyramid.' After an independent commission found Forest to have exceeded the league's permitted limits by around £34.5 million between 2020 and 2023, they will follow Everton as the second club to have been fined this year for breaches to the Premier League's financial laws.
