Spurs made it two from two in Europe's secondary competition as goals from Pape Sarr and Johnson were enough🤡 for victory in Hungary despite Barnaba🔜s Varga's late consolation.

Versatile forward Johnsoಌn has now scored in each of his past five Tottenham appearances⛎ and has as many goals now as he did in the whole of last season (five).

Speaking at a press conference after the game, Postecoglou said of the Wales winger: "He's in a great vein of form right now. He's r🧔eally confident. 

"They thrive on that sort of stuff, but his numbers have alway🤡s been good. I was always curious as to ℱwhy he was singled out because his numbers were always good when stacked up against the other wingers. 

"Now he's probably ah꧙ead of them with his numbers."

It was a night to remember for teenager🍸 Moore🦹, who played the entire 90 minutes on his first professional start.

Postecoglou was extremely impressed with the way the 17-year-old forward applied himself on the Europ🌜eanꦉ stage.

"His ability to just deal with pressure and keep the ball i꧂n really tight areas and make really good clean decisions for such a young boy," he added.

"It's not easy out there when defenders fly in, and he took one within the first 30 seconds, but he drives on. He's got so much growth, and he wants to learn. I couldn't be happier with him, and I'm very pleased that he's part of our football clu🐟b.

"I thought he was outstanding. It's bri🎉lliant for a 17-year-old to play 90-plus minutes in a European away tie.

"He just handled it 🐻superbly, I kind of knew he would, and I think it'll help his gꦐrowth as a footballer once you get through a sort of experience like that. 

"I think he'll grow and evolve, and I didn't feel 🎃like I neede🐷d to take him off. He still looked strong at the end and was still contributing."
