Tottenham Hotspur produced one of the best performances of the Ange Postecoglou era on Sunday, beating Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Ange Postecoglou’s attention has no doubt turned to the Europa League clash against Ferencvaros on Thursday night.
Many Tottenham Hotspur fans are still on a real high from Sunday though having seen Spurs run riot against Manchester United.
Tottenham produced a superb 3-0 win as Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all found the net.
From Micky van de Ven’s stunning assist to Kulusevski’s ‘unreal’ performance, this was a display to remember for Tottenham fans.
Harry Redknapp on Brennan Johnson
That is now four wins in a row in all competitions for Tottenham and the pressure on Postecoglou has eased a little.
Sunday’s win also saw Brennan Johnson continue his recent upturn in form.
Johnson received nasty social media criticism after the defeat to Arsenal and decided to leave Instagram as a result.
Postecoglou moved to defend Johnson against abuse and he has certainly found his form again.
The Welsh international has now racked up four goals inches last four games, hitting back at his critics in style.
Johnson has the trust of the current Spurs boss but also one of Postecoglou’s predecessors.
Harry Redknapp spoke to TalkSPORT (30/09, 9:40am) that he feels Johnson has been ‘excellent’ for Tottenham despite the criticism.
Redknapp added that stepping away from social media is a positive step for Johnson, believing that fan criticism can ‘destroy’ a player.
Redknapp now thinks that Johnson’s confidence will be ‘sky-high’ and admitted loving what he offered at Nottingham Forest.
“He has been excellent,” said Redknapp.
“Obviously, his dad was a player, he’s been brought up in he game. I think he has done a good thing coming off social media. If you keep looking at what people say about you, and it’s not good, it can destroy you, I’m sure.
“Johnson looks a real good player. I loved him at Forest and now he is scoring goals. His confidence will be sky-high,” he added.

Right wing spot now Johnson’s to lose
Postecoglou put his faith in Johnson and that has paid dividends over recent games.
We would now argue that Johnson has Tottenham’s right-wing spot locked down for the foreseeable future.
Kulusevski came into the season as a key competition down that flank but he has now shown his class as an attack-minded midfielder.
Wilson Odobert can play on the right too but he is now out injured and won’t return until after the international break.
Johnson will now be call up on again and again in the Tottenham starting XI and he will be looking to continue this sensational run of form.
