Brennan Johnson’s 96th Minutes Strike Secures Thrilling Win for Spurs

Tottenham secured a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Brighton with substitute Brennan Johnson scoring a dramatic 96th minutes winner. Brighton took the lead through a Pascal Gross penalty but Pape Sarr equalized for Spurs in the 61st minutes.

Heung-Min Son making his first appearance in 2024 set up Johnson’s late winner. The win lifted Tottenham to fourth place. Brighton’s European qualification hopes suffered a blow as they remain eighth. Spurs’ manager Ange Postecoglou praised the impact of returning players particularly Son.

Despite Brighton’s attacking approach, Johnson’s late goal handed them their first defeat after the 75th minutes this season. Opta stats highlighted Tottenham’s penchant for late winners and both teams’ tendency to score and concede frequently. Spurs face Wolves next while Brighton takes on Sheffield United.
