Brennan Johnson has continued his red-hot form in front of goal as Tottenham take on Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League action.
The Wales international has maintained a superb recent streak for Ange Postecoglou’s team after difficult start to the 2024/25 season.
Johnson confirmed his decision to delete all social media accounts following excessive online abuse after struggling to find the net in the opening weeks of the campaign.
Postecoglou has praised his resolve and gritty attitude since then and the former Nottingham Forest forward has responded with the best run of his career.
Brennan Johnson’s Tottenham goals, record at Spurs
Johnson scored eight EPL goals in his debut top-flight campaign with Forest in 2022/23 before joining Spurs at the start of last season.
That rate dropped to five league goals in Postecoglou’s first year in English football but he is on course to outstrip that in 2024/25.
Three Premier League goals so far is a strong start, but his current rate could break a club record set by former captain Harry Kane.
Johnson’s goal against the Seagulls means he has now matched Kane’s record of scoring in six successive games for Spurs across all competitions.

Can Brennan Johnson break Harry Kane’s record?
Johnson will link up with Wales over the international break and his return to club action will determine if he can overtake Kane.
Spurs host West Ham United on October 19 and a goal for Johnson would break new ground for the 23-year-old.
However, he still has some way to go to smash Jamie Vardy’s eye-catching record of scoring in 11 successive Premier League games with Leicester City.
