Tottenham Hotspur ended a disastrous Premier League campaign, defeated by Brighton & Hove Albion, and then finished some overseas.
Certainly, the Ange Postecoglou team dreamed mid-week, defeating Manchester United at Bilbao to seal the Europa League title, ending 17 years of rotten luck on the trophy front.
A hangover was expected, but the bruise was not an outlier for the Lily White, who finished 17th in the 2024/25 league campaign.
There’s been a lot of bites to bite over the coming months, and this weekend he’s barely benefiting from the N17.
Spurs’ worst performance and Brighton
Tottenham lost the 22nd top flight match of the season, marking the end of the worst Premier League campaign ever.
The defensive surrender highlighted the tragic core of Post-Coglu this season, with pathetic performances from the newly declared trio proven the tenuous barrier between Tottenham and a true relegation dogfight.
There were some tired legs after the interval, and Dominique Solanke’s early penalty was too small to give Tottenham the strength he needed to finish with a strong scaffolding.
Yves Bissouma hashed things when he unbenched, then gave a penalty after putting Diego Gomez in the box, making it 3-1 to Matt Orly’s spot kick. The fourth continues at the stop time.
It was a performance to forget, everything said. Certainly not the equipment for the week that will be remembered in the coming years.
One man in particular was unable to replicate his sparkling midweek shape, shedding light on his ability to appear at the greatest moments reminiscent of former hero Lucas Moura.
Spurs ‘New Lucas Moura
Lucas played a key role for Tottenham after signing from Paris Saint-Germain in 2018 for £23 million, scoring 39 goals and 27 assists in 221 appearances in all competitions.
But he didn’t keep the level necessary for his reputation in British football as a truly deadly progression.

Now Brennan Johnson is at risk of adopting a similar reputation, proving Tottenham’s hero on a big night, but struggles to project his best form with the desired degree of consistency.
Don’t make any mistakes. This took part in July 2023 at a rate of £47.5 million, sharpening his goals this year, earning 18 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
He failed to add to his haul against the seagull, but his hard work and frankly failed to affect the procedures on the sinking side.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold saw the funny side and branded the Welsman with a 5/10 match rating, but quized why he was allowed 90 after such a enthusiastic celebration a few days ago, bundled it into his only goal with United on Wednesday.
Like Johnson, Lucas liked to make important contributions in the Tottenham continental scene, miraculously scored that He sends the hat-trick Mauricio Pochettino side to the final way of the Champions League, but he was inconsistent.
Emphasizing this, Welsh International has only won in three of the last 20 Premier League matches, highlighting the up and down nature of Lucas’s career in football in the UK.
The good thing is that Johnson can give him some room after his goal Wednesday night, but he still struggled to work hard defensively, seeing the chance to plead after being played in space.
Johnson also completed only nine of his 17 attempt passes, a success rate of just 53%, failing to create a dribble, failing on all three attempts from the range, and not attempting his trademark dribble.
He’s only 24 years old, he has plenty of time to hone his talent and reach a level that people around him know he can.
One thing is for sure, he already has a greater legacy than Brazilian positioning piers, and could reach even higher with some improvements over the coming season.
