Участник:Son Heung-min's partner credentials → Helped with his 8th goal...Tottenham mounts new attacking options!
Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 in the 10th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 28th (Korea time). Tottenham, which has been undefeated in the opening 10 games with the victory, has 26 points, widening the gap with the second-place team by five points.
Coach Enje Postecoglou replaced Hishalisson, who was sluggish in the 19th minute of the second half when Joen Ward's own goal came out and led 1-0. Johnson is a Nottingham Forest Holy Youth. He grew up in Nottingham Youth and played only in Nottingham, except for Lincoln City loan. In the 2020-21 season, when Nottingham was in the English League 1 (third division), he scored 10 goals and 12 assists in 40 league games, helping them to promotion. In the 2021-22 English Championship (second division), he scored 16 goals and 9 assists in 46 games. In the playoffs, he also scored two goals in three games to strengthen his promotion.
Nottingham suffered a relegation crisis last season amid promotion to the back-to-back, and Johnson's performance helped him stay. Johnson played all PL games and scored eight goals and three assists. He used his fast feet to lead the attack on Nottingham counterattack and delighted coach Steve Cooper by scoring offensive points whenever needed. Johnson completed his drama from third division leaguer to PL to Wales international. He entered Tottenham. The transfer fee was 55 million euros (about 78 billion won), the highest among Tottenham players this summer.
Johnson, who was expected to add strength to the attack, was out for a while due to injury. With Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic injured, Tottenham, which lacks offensive resources, has a good option as Johnson returns. He was expected to start against Fulham following Arsenal, but he came out as a substitute. He started on the bench again on that day. Johnson, who was put in place of Hishal Song, scored Son Heung-min's goal in two minutes.
Johnson came on as a left-. In the 21st minute of the second half, Johnson pushed a flying long pass to James Medicine with a header. When Madison caught the ball, he quickly entered the penalty box and caught the ball and gave it exactly to Son Heung-min located in the center. Son Heung-min's left-footed shot became a goal. Son pointed to Johnson with his hand. Johnson and Son Heung-min celebrated the goal together by celebrating together.
It was Johnson's first point of attack in Tottenham. Tottenham, which was leading with Johnson's help and Son Heung-min's goals, won 2-1 while keeping the lead, although they lost points in extra time in the second half. Tottenham is quietly starting its bid for the presidency by continuing its winning streak.
England's "Football London" praised his performance as a joker, saying, "He was put in from the middle of the second half and helped Son Heung-min score after linking with Medicine." "Johnson was really good," Postecoglou said. I had to be patient after getting frustrated, but I trained really hard. The replaced players, including Johnson, really helped," he said.
