Tottenham newcomer reacts to late victory against Sheffield United with “It was crazy”
Brennan Johnson reacts to late Spurs’ winner against Sheffield United
Brennan Johnson experienced a great moment in his Tottenham Hotspur debut. As the clock ticked down on a tense encounter against Sheffield United, the 22-year-old Welsh sensation found himself thrust into the spotlight.
Johnson didn’t quite know where to turn in the magic moments after Dejan Kulusevski struck our late, late winner against Sheffield United on Saturday
It was insane.
To be honest, I didn’t know who to rush up to. Richy and Deki ran off, and I was caught up in the action, but those are the kinds of things you dream about. Being a part of something like that in my first game can only portend wonderful things.
Brennan, who was acquired from Forest on the final day of the transfer window, made his debut off the bench on 80 minutes, which actually meant with 22 minutes left, when we were controlling possession but trailing the staunch Blades defense 1-0. The young genius had the opportunity to leave his imprint, and he didn’t let anyone down.
Snapped up from Forest on deadline day, Brennan came off the bench for his debut on 80 minutes – as it turned out, with 22 minutes remaining – with us dominating possession but chasing a 1-0 deficit against a stubborn Blades’ defence. The stage was set for the young prodigy to make his mark, and he didn’t disappoint
It looked like he’d made the perfect start by equalising two minutes after his introduction, only for his goal to be ruled offside. The agonizing wait for his first Spurs goal would have to continue a little longer. However, Brennan Johnson’s impact was undeniable. His movement, skill, and confidence beyond his age, and he had the fans on the edge of their seats.
