Welsh media react as Tottenham star Brennan Johnson scores seventh goal in seven games in Wales draw with Iceland
Tottenham Hotspur forward Brennan Johnson made it seven goals in seven games on Friday night.
The Tottenham star, who’s been in red-hot form in recent weeks, opened the scoring for Wales in their Nations League game away against Iceland.
Johnson struck in the 11th minute when he pounced from close range to fire home after Harry Wilson’s initial shot was saved.
Wilson then got on the scoresheet himself in the 29th minute, netting with a composed finish after a great ball over the top from Neco Williams.
Johnson was booked for a spat with Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson – who also received a yellow card – two minutes later.
The Tottenham ace was then subbed off at the break after taking a knock in the first half.
Despite Wales leading 2-0 at the break, Iceland mounted a fightback and managed to secure a draw as the visitors capitulated.
Iceland were piling on the pressure before Logi Tomasson halved their deficit with a low strike in the 69th minute.
Just three minutes later, Tomasson surged into the Wales penalty area and sent in a cross which Danny Ward turned into his own net.

Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson gets 7s from the Welsh media
It was a disappointing day for Wales, but Johnson did well and earned praise from his nation’s media, albeit with some criticism over his yellow card.
Here is what the Welsh media said about the Tottenham man’s display in Reykjavik.
gave Johnson a 7 out of 10 rating and wrote: “In the right place at the right time for his goal.
“However, he picked up a rather silly booking that will rule him out of Monday’s clash with Montenegro.”
Likewise, also gave Johnson a 7 out of 10 for his efforts on the night.
“Johnson continued his fine form in front of goal as he made it seven in seven,” they wrote.
“You can see he’s playing with real confidence at the moment and it’s great to see it shine through in a Wales shirt.”
