Brennan Johnson found the back of the net for the fifth time in five matches as Tottenham secured a 2-1 win against Hungarian team Ferencvaros. This marked Spurs second victory in the Europa League. Johnson entered the game in the second half and continued his impressive form. However, Tottenham’s victory against Ferencvaros wasn’t easy, as they fielded young players Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear for their first starts.
Tottenham Starts Strong
Ferencvaros started strong, eager to put pressure on a young Spurs team. They had a good chance to score early on, within the first ten minutes, but Barnabas Varga shot over after receiving a pass from Adama Traore. The visiting side gradually found their groove in the match, as Will Lankshear missed a header from a good cross by Timo Werner, and Sarr tested Denes Dibusz with a powerful shot from outside the area that required a solid save. Varga found the net with a well-placed header from Elder Civic‘s perfect cross, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Shortly after, Traore had a chance but sent his header just past the post.
Tottenham held strong against the early pressure and took the lead when Sarr pushed the ball past Dibusz after a few deflections in the box. Pedro Porro struck the left post just before halftime, and in the second half, 19-year-old forward Lankshear sent a volley just over the bar from a corner. Timo Werner kept up Spurs carelessness in front of goal as he hit the side-net after attempting to get past the goalkeeper.
The Hungarian team came out strong in the second half, pushing for a goal. Saldanha had a great chance from distance, but Vicario made a fantastic save, tipping the ball wide to keep the scoreline intact. After a short break in the action due to smoke from the home fans’ flares, the game continued. Postecoglou’s unusual lineup struggled to connect in attack, while Ferencvaros lost their edge as they began to get tired. Other than a few good chances for Lancshear and a classic miss from Werner, the match’s final moments in Budapest were pretty quiet.
However, Johnson came on and changed the narrative. He unleashed a strong shot that looked destined for the top-left corner, but it hit the crossbar. A few moments later, the Welshman found the net with four minutes remaining. The home team gave it their all and kept the pressure on Tottenham right to the final whistle. Varga found the back of the net with a clever finish from a low cross in the 90th minute. The match, however, ended 2-1 in favor of Tottenham Hotspur.
Mickey Moore Named Man Of The Match
On an average evening for Tottenham, one player shone brightly. Moore proved he was worth Postecoglou’s trust. His exciting dribbling and several good plays helped him stand out against Bergvall, Lancshear, and Werner. Even though his final pass wasn’t always accurate, his desire to create danger and his confidence in such a young player will give hope to the Australian coach.
This performance will show Postecoglou that Moore can be a valuable choice on the wing in Premier League games. He has the potential to make a difference when coming off the bench for short appearances and might even be good enough to start against weaker teams.
What Next For Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou’s team travels to the Farmer Stadium on Sunday to face Brighton and Hove Albion. This will be a tough match for Tottenham, but they should come out victorious.
