Johnson scored Spurs' first on the south coast to extend a remarkable record of scoring in each of his last six starts in all competitions. The last player to achieve such a run for Spurs was Harry Kane, who did it twice, in 2018/19 and in 2015. Teddy Sheringham also managed it in 1995 and only Clive Allen scored seven, although he did so in the 1980s.

After the international break, Spurs return to domestic action against West Ham on October 18. Johnson will hope to make it seven goals in seven appearances.
