Yesterday at 03:26 PM
Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson has maintained his exceptional form, delivering a standout performance for Wales in their commanding 4-1 Nations League victory over Iceland.
Johnson, one of Spurs' most reliable players this season, seamlessly translated his club-level excellence to the international stage. Against Iceland, he was instrumental, contributing both offensively and defensively.
The winger's statistics highlighted his all-around impact: he contributed with a goal and an assist. Additionally, he completed 100% of his dribbles, delivered two key passes, won eight ground duels, and made three tackles and three clearances.
This well-rounded display underscored his versatility and work rate, playing a key role in Wales' dominant win.

This performance marked Johnson's 31st cap for Wales—a remarkable achievement considering he debuted for the national team at 19 in November 2020.
The 23-year-old has now netted four goals for his country, steadily enhancing his international reputation.
At the club level, Johnson has been equally impactful. In 17 appearances across all competitions this season, he has already scored seven goals and registered one assist, surpassing his goal tally from the previous campaign.
His consistent performances have validated Tottenham's £47.5 million investment during last summer's transfer window. Initially met with some scepticism due to his limited top-flight experience, Johnson has silenced critics through his on-field contributions.
The winger's journey hasn't been without its challenges. Earlier this season, following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, Johnson faced online abuse, leading him to deactivate his social media accounts. However, his resilience has shone through, with his performances doing the talking and winning over both fans and pundits.
As Spurs gear up for a challenging post-international break schedule, starting with a difficult away clash against Manchester City, manager Ange Postecoglou will be relying on Johnson to sustain his form.
His continued growth and contributions will be pivotal in Tottenham's quest for domestic and European success this season.
