Brennan Johnson Gets 8 | Tottenham Players Rated After Win Against Ipswich Town

Tottenham fans are buzzing after their team’s 4-1 thrashing of Ipswich Town on Saturday, marking their third straight Premier League win. Ange Postecoglou raised some eyebrows by benching James Maddison for the trip to Portman Road, especially after the Englishman’s match-winner against Manchester United just six days earlier. But the decision paid off big time, with Spurs putting on a show even without him starting.
Brennan Johnson stole the headlines with a first-half brace, proving he’s a key piece of Postecoglou’s puzzle. The guy’s got a knack for popping up when it matters, and Son Heung-min was right there with him, looking sharper than he has in a while. Son’s two assists for Johnson’s goals showed glimpses of his old magic down the left, even if he faded a bit after the break. Meanwhile, Djed Spence keeps impressing; solid at the back and now chipping in with his second goal of the season. He’s making a real case for himself lately.

Archie Gray: 6/10

The young defender found himself tested early by Liam Delap’s physicality. Though he struggled initially, Gray grew into the game.

Kevin Danso: 7/10

Like Gray, Danso had a shaky start but quickly found his feet. Positive in possession despite occasional wayward passes, he stood tall defensively.

Djed Spence: 8/10

Spence continues to impress, delivering a defensively solid display while adding a late goal, which was his second of the season.

Rodrigo Bentancur: 7/10

The midfielder anchored the centre with a robust, reliable performance, dictating play effectively.

Lucas Bergvall: 7/10

Bergvall’s quality shone through as he pushed forward. He displayed that he is improving under Ange Postecoglou.

Dejan Kulusevski: 6/10

Quiet for much of the game, Kulusevski redeemed himself with a sublime late goal to seal the victory.

Brennan Johnson: 8/10

Johnson was sensational, scoring twice in the first half to display his value to Spurs. He faded after the break but had already done the damage.

Mathys Tel: 3/10

A forgettable outing for the 19-year-old loanee, who offered little threat and may struggle to earn a permanent move.

Son Heung-min: 8/10

Son rolled back the years, terrorizing Ipswich down the left and assisting both of Johnson’s goals before tiring.

James Maddison: 7/10

He injected energy and assisted Spence
