P⛦ape Sarr had given the visito🦋rs the lead in the first half before Johnson got the second with four minutes remaining prior to Barnabus Varga giving the hosts a late consolation.
A young Spurs side started slowly and were given a wake-up call 1ꦦ2 minutes in as Varga's header across goal nestled into the far bottom corner, but his goal was ruled out due to a tight offside.
Sarr put Spurs ahead just 11 minutes later, getting a little bit of fortune as the ball ricochet♎ed through the box before he slotted past Denes Dibusz.
Pedro Porro then cut inside to drive a low shot against the foot of the right post before the break, while Matheus Saldanha forced Guglielmo Vicario into a fingertip s🐷ave shortly after half-time.
Johnson came off the bench and hit the bar before keeping his composure to double Spurs' lead, sen🌸ding his strike in off the inside of the post.
Varga did get his name on the scoresheet in stoppagꦺe time, stretching out a leg to lift Cristian Ramirez's whipped cross over Vicario.
Data Debrief: Johnson proves the difference
He may not have started the game, but it ꦡꦜis Johnson's involvement that sealed all three points for Spurs, and a second consecutive Europa League win.
The forward has scored in each of his last five appearances for the club in🌠 all competitions, matching his goal tally for the entirety of last season (fiveꦛ goals).
Ange🥂 Postecoglou was not afraid to ring in the changes, and Tottenham became the first English side to start four-plu♚s teenagers in a single match in a major European competition since Manchester United versus Astana in the Europa League in November 2019 (six).
