Johnson's journey is inspiring as he would've been subjected to some harsh online abuses earlier in the season.
Brennan Johnson's historic goal in the Europa League triumphBrennan Johnson became a Tottenham Hotspur hero by scoring the only goal in the Europa League final. On May 21, 2025, he scored in the 42nd minute against Manchester United in Bilbao. His goal came from a Papé Matar Sarr cross, pushed past the goalkeeper after a deflection. This goal ended Tottenham's 17-year wait for a big trophy, making fans super happy.
Even though Tottenham was in 17th place in the Premier League, Johnson's goal was huge. It earned Spurs a spot in the Champions League for the next season. Like Micky van de Ven, his teammates defended well, but Johnson's goal won the game.

Bouncing back from tough timesIn September 2024, Brennan Johnson faced mean online abuse after Tottenham lost 1-0 to Arsenal. The hate was so bad that he had to close his Instagram account quickly. But he stayed strong and scored a last-minute goal against Coventry City soon after. By May 2025, he was Tottenham's top scorer with 18 goals in total. Born in Nottingham with a Jamaican dad and Welsh mom, he'll be very proud to lift the long-awaited trophy.
Johnson joined the Spurs from Nottingham Forest for £47.5 million in the 2023 season. His time at Forest's academy and a loan at Lincoln City built his strength. A calf injury in January 2025 didn't stop him from scoring big goals. He scored in the Europa League semi-final against Bodø/Glimt, helping Spurs win.
His speed and hard work made fans love him more every game. Johnson also plays for Wales, starting in 2020 and at the 2022 World Cup. His ability to ignore hate and play well made him a Spurs favorite. Johnson's story gives fans hope as Tottenham plans for the Champions League. His journey from tough times to becoming a star is truly inspiring for young football fanatics.
