Tottenham continued their strong run of form in all competitions with a hard fought 2-1 win away from home in the Europa League against Hungarian side Ferencvaros.
It was a tight contest, with Spurs having less shots than their opponents, but a Pape Sarr goal in the first half put them in front, and Brennan Johnson then continued his brilliant run in front of goal, scoring in his fifth game in a row.
Pape Sarr does it again for Tottenham 💪

It meant a goal from Barnabas Varga was a consolation for the home side, and it means Tottenham have won their opening two games of the Europa League season.
The match also marked a special milestone for coach Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou reflects on 50th game as Spurs boss
The win over Ferencvaros marked Postecoglou's 50th game in charge of Tottenham since taking over at the start of last season.
Speaking to UK broadcaster TNT Sport, he had a moment to reflect on his time at the club so far, where he lifted Tottenham back into Europe.
"Yeah definitely," Postecoglou said when asked on whether he was enjoying his time in North London, "it definitely doesn't feel like 50 [matches], but. it's a nice little milestone.
"I've enjoyed my time [so far], and [there'll be] plenty more to come."
It is a different experience for Spurs this season as they navigate the perils of Thursday-Sunday-Thursday football in the Europa League, but Postecoglou insists it is important for the players to have this experience.
"I mentioned quite a few times last year there there was a significant gap in our calendar, especially for [a] big club," he said.
"As much as there is a lot of games, it does give you the chance to expose your whole squad to football and good football and different experiences."
Tottenham's next Europa League match will be against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, with Aussie fans able to watch the game live and exclusive on Stan Sport.
