Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson has hailed Mickey van de Ven as one of the league’s fastest players after the centre-back’s half-space dribble and assist opened the scoring in
Sunday’s 3-0 win at Manchester United. Less than three minutes into the game, Van de Ven sprinted from his own half to the byline before crossing for Johnson to put Tottenham ahead. Van de Ven was the quickest player in the Premier League last season and it looks like the 23-year-old Dutchman is in contention to feature again this term.
That goal was all down to Mickey. I was hesitant at first, maybe we should play it back to retain possession, but when I saw him start to make his move I knew exactly what I had to do,” Johnson said to ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app after the win.
“Mickey is one of the league’s fastest runners and there’s not many people who can stop him. It’s unbelievable, to be honest. Because he’s a tall centre-back, 193cm. “
In that moment, Micky saw the gap and had the pace to get through. Then his cross was unbelievable. My job was just to finish in the right place.” Johnson
‘s goal kept him on a winning run, with four goals in a row, and the 23-year-old Wales winger – who was heavily criticised for shutting his Instagram account two weeks ago – added:
“The last time I scored four goals in four games was in youth football. I’d never done that at first-team level, so it felt amazing. “
We completely dominated the game even though we both had 11 men. We played to a clear plan and in the end we got the win and it was a great day.”
