Tottenham fans have run out of patience with one of their key players following a frustrating night against Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
Brennan Johnson, who had already been criticized after Spurs\u2019 Carabao Cup exit to Newcastle United, seemed to redeem himself when he opened the scoring on Tuesday, November 4. Wilson Odobert quickly added a second after halftime, but Brentford turned the game around spectacularly with goals from Micky van de Ven and Joao Palhinha, sealing a 4\u20130 win.<\/p>\n
Things went from bad to worse for Tottenham when Johnson was sent off in the 57th minute after a VAR review showed him lunging into Marcos Lopez\u2019s back. Although some fans sympathized with him \u2014 especially since the red card looked harsh \u2014 others were furious, calling him \u201can idiot\u201d and even suggesting he should leave the club.<\/p>\n
Johnson, who is known for picking up late-game cautions, left supporters fuming over his reckless challenge. Fortunately for Spurs, his dismissal didn\u2019t derail the team\u2019s momentum completely.<\/p>\n
According to Opta, Johnson made unwanted history by becoming the first British player to score and be sent off in the same Champions League match. It capped off a mixed evening \u2014 one that started brightly but ended in frustration.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an up-and-down season for the Welsh forward, and while his goal should have boosted his confidence, the red card has once again overshadowed his progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
