“It was crazy”- Tottenham new boy reacts to late winner vs Sheffield United

Brennan Johnson reacts to late Spurs’ winner against Sheffield United

Brennan Johnson had a memorable first-game experience with Tottenham Hotspur. The 22-year-old Welsh star found himself in the spotlight as time ran out on a tense match against Sheffield United.

In the crucial seconds following Dejan Kulusevski’s dramatic late-game winner against Sheffield United on Saturday, Johnson wasn’t quite sure which way to go.

“It was crazy,”

“I didn’t know who to run up to, to be honest. I saw Deki run off, Richy run off, I was caught in the moment, but those are the moments you dream of. To be involved in something like that in my first game only means there are good things to come.”

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.

Two minutes after entering the game, it appeared like he had equalized the score, but the goal was disallowed for offside. He would have to wait a little bit longer to score his first Spurs goal. But there was no denying Brennan Johnson’s influence. He had the crowd on the edge of their seats with his agility, ability, and confidence beyond his years.

Hope began to wane as the minutes passed. The threat of losing at home loomed enormous as the tenacious Sheffield United defense held firm. Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs team, though, does not understand what it means to give up.

Richarlison overcame the Blades’ defense in the 98th minute to head in the equalizer, electrifying the crowd. Hope suddenly appeared when the stadium erupted in cheers from the spectators.

Then the incident that will go down in Premier League history occurred. Dejan Kulusevski blasted a powerful shot that went into the goal in the tenth minute of added time.

Brennan Johnson was at the center of the palpable outpouring of relief and delight. Even though he didn’t score, his presence and contribution were crucial in shifting the game in Spurs’ favor.
