Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson scored twice in the first half before goals from Djed Spence and Dejan Kulusevski sealed a 4-1 win at relegation-threatened Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Saturday.

Johnson's double came after the hosts had twice threatened to open the scoring through Liam Delap, whose glancing header hit the post. Ipswich striker Omari Hutchinson pulled one back before half-time, but Spurs were not to be denied.

The home side battled hard for an equaliser but failed to create any clear openings in the second half and Spurs went further ahead through a deflected shot from Spence on 77 minutes and a fine individual goal from Kulusevski in the 84th minute.

The win leaves Spurs 12th in the table on 33 points from 26 games, while Ipswich remain third from bottom on 17 points, five adrift of safety after fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers won 1-0 at high-flying Bournemouth.

"So great to get Brennan back. He scores so many goals for us in those areas," said Ange Postecoglou, whose side have won three league games in a row for the first time since December 2023 after beating Brentford and Manchester United.

"I always felt we were a threat when we had the ball," Postecoglou told a news conference.

"Our goals were quality. Our front-third play was super exciting and clinical. We're getting some players back [from injury] which was helpful."
