What Tottenham fans did in the stadium to show Brennan Johnson he is loved
Alasdair Gold reveals that the home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium made sure that Brennan Johnson felt loved on Saturday by specifically cheering for him and singing his name.
Johnson had a difficult start to the season and on the back of some of the vitriol he was targeted with on social media, the Spurs star decided to deactivate his Instagram account.
Over the last week, the winger has been fiercely defended by Ange Postecoglou, who insisted that the 23-year-old will turn this around and come good (Football.London), and also by his teammates, with Guglielmo Vicario hailing the winger’s character and his work-rate (Sky Sports).
The Tottenham boss has continued to show faith in the former Nottingham Forest man and he is now starting to repay it, following up his match-winner against Coventry City with another well-taken goal against Brentford.
The winger received the ball on the right, skipped past the defender and produced a fine strike which arrowed into the far corner, putting Tottenham 2-1 up.
Spurs fans sang and cheered for Johnson all game
Johnson looked lively all game and Gold has now revealed that the wide man got a huge cheer before kick-off while the home fans also sang his name after the goal.
The journalist wrote in Football.London: “Got a huge cheer just before kick-off when his name was read out and was heavily involved early on, firing one shot inches wide and having another effort blocked in the Brentford box.
“He then scored Spurs’ second with a perfect low shot into the far corner. Had a couple of further opportunities including one from a tight angle after Son had run through. Had the crowd singing his name after his goal and when he came off with 20 minutes to go.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It is always a small but vocal section of each fan base that spews vitriol against the players and managers. Unfortunately, the nature of social media is that the most extreme voices are the ones which get amplified.
The reception that Johnson and Postecoglou received on Saturday is proof that the overwhelming majority of fans are still fully behind this team.
