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 Barnabaꦐs Varga's🐠 late consolation.
Versatile forward Johnson has now scored in each of his past five Tottenham appearan🌜ces and has as many goals now as he did in the whole of last season (five).
Speaking at a press conf🅰erence after the game, Postecoglou said of the Wales winger: "He's in a great vein of form r♋ight now. He's really confident.
"They thrive on that sort o💞f stuff, but his numbers have always been good. I was always curious as to✃ why he was singled out because his numbers were always good when stacked up against the other wingers.
"Now he's probably ahead of them with his n🧸🃏umbers."
It was a night to remember for teenager Moore, who played the entire 90 minutes on his first professional ✃start.
Postecoglou was extreme𝓀ly impressed with the way the 17-year-old forward applied himself on the European stage.
"His ability to just deal wi⛄th pressure and keep the ball in 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 club.
"I thought he was ouꦚtstand♉ing. It's brilliant 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, and๊ I think it'll help his growth as a footballer once you get through a sort of experience like that.&nb𒁃sp;
"I think h꧃e'll grow and evolv๊e, and I didn't feel like I needed to take him off. He still looked strong at the end and was still contributing."
