Brennan Johnson's impressive goal-scoring streak continued as Tottenham secured a 2-1 victory against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Pape Sarr opened the scoring for Spurs in the first half, and Johnson added a second with just four minutes left. Barnabus Varga scored a late consolation for the hosts. Spurs began slowly, receiving an early scare when Varga's header was disallowed for offside.

Sarr put Tottenham ahead six minutes after Varga's disallowed goal. The ball bounced around the box before he calmly finished past Denes Dibusz. Before halftime, Pedro Porro nearly doubled the lead with a shot that hit the post. After the break, Matheus Saldanha forced Guglielmo Vicario into a fine save, keeping Spurs' lead intact.

Johnson came off the bench and made an immediate impact by hitting the bar before scoring Spurs' second goal. His composed finish found the net via the inside of the post. In stoppage time, Varga managed to score for Ferencvaros, lifting Cristian Ramirez's cross over Vicario.

Despite not starting, Johnson's contribution was crucial in securing all three points for Tottenham and marking their second straight Europa League win. He has now scored in five consecutive appearances across all competitions, equalling his total from last season.

Ange Postecoglou wasn't hesitant to make changes, fielding a youthful team. Tottenham became the first English club since Manchester United in 2019 to start more than four teenagers in a major European match.

Tottenham's victory highlights their depth and ability to adapt with young talent stepping up effectively. The team's performance continues to build momentum as they aim for further success in Europe this season.
