'Turned into prime Gareth Bale!' - Tottenham fans claim Brennan Johnson will be Harry Kane's 'long-term replacement' as £48m forward matches former captain's impressive goals feat with superb finish vs Brighton

Premier League

Bournemouth

Brighton

Tottenham

Johnson scored Spurs' first on the south coast to extend a remarkable record of scoring in each of his last six starts in all competitions. The last player to achieve such a run for Spurs was Harry Kane, who did it twice, in 2018/19 and in 2015. Teddy Sheringham also managed it in 1995 and only Clive Allen scored seven, although he did so in the 1980s.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Johnson scored just six goals all season after his arrival from Nottingham Forest in 2023-24 but has already matched that tally by October in his second full campaign. Three of his goals have come in the Premier League, with two in the Europa League and one in the Carabao Cup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After the international break, Spurs return to domestic action against West Ham on October 18. Johnson will hope to make it seven goals in seven appearances.
