    The full-back's stunning 78th-minute strike broke the deadlock against a gritty Burnley defence in north London on Friday evening.

  • WHAT JOHNSON SAID

    Johnson told ITV: “There was no luck about that. Everyone who watches him every week knows the quality he has, especially on the ball. I think sometimes he is too far out to shoot most weeks but he won the ball back and there weren’t too many options. He has the quality. He shoots a lot in training, misses a lot but it came off and it was an unbelievable goal.”

The squad is set to be boosted by the imminent arrival for former Chelsea man Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig, while Eric Dier could be heading in the opposite direction to the Bundesliga amid interest from Bayern Munich.
