‘Dangerous’ – Tottenham forward receives wide praise for national side performance
The Welsh media have been extremely complimentary of Brennan Johnson after his performance against Finland in the Euro qualifiers semifinal.
Wales are now just 90 minutes of football away from making it to their third successive European Championship after they trashed Finald 4-1 at Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday to set up a play-off final clash with Poland.
This is a new era for the Dragons, with their talisman Gareth Bale no longer playing and Johnson is now one of the players they are reliant on to produce the goods in the final third.

The 22-year-old worked his socks off for Robert Page’s men and was dangerous all game, getting on the scoresheet at the start of the second half to put his side 3-1 up and give them some breathing space.
