Europa League Match Recap: Rangers and 10-man Tottenham Secure Victories in Their Openers”
In a thrilling Europa League match, Rangers and 10-man Tottenham both secured victories in their openers. For Tottenham, Brennan Johnson was in brilliant form, scoring in each of their last three matches. This feat hasn’t been achieved by Johnson since May 2022 when he helped Nottingham Forest earn a long-awaited return to the Premier League. With three goals, Johnson is the club’s top scorer this season in all competitions, one clear of captain Son-Heung Min and new striker Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham’s 3-0 victory over Qarabag was impressive, especially considering they played the final 82 minutes of the tie with 10 men. In both halves, Spurs came close to scoring. In the first half, Juninho missed from close range to level the match before Toral Bayramov failed to convert his second-half spot kick. Qarabag had 14 shots in the game, but were unable to score against Tottenham.
