Senegal’s international, Pape Matar Sarr, scored two goals in two matches in the UEFA Europa League (UEL). He opened the scoring from close range after 23 minutes at the Ferencváros Stadium in Budapest.
Sarr’s teammate, Brennan Johnson, scored the second helping the team secure a valuable away victory in Europe with a 2-1 win against Ferencvaros in Hungary on Thursday evening.
As a result, the London club is currently third in the table, aiming to advance straight to the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League.
The result marked five wins in our last matches across three different competitions: Coventry in the Carabao Cup, Brentford and Manchester United in the Premier League, and Qarabag and Ferencvaros in the UEL.
Sarr’s fine finish showcased his good form as he shifted onto his left foot from the right angle and curled a low shot in off the far post, making it 2-0 four minutes from time in the rain at the Groupama Arena.
Despite the Hungarian champions being unbeaten at home in 14 matches, they fought until the end, with Barnabas Varga sliding home a cross from Cristian Ramirez as the clock ticked into five minutes of added time.
There were no more scares as Tottenham secured their second win out of two in the league phase of the new-look competition, following their MD1 win against Qarabag last week.
