While Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign has come to an end, many of the players are still in action with their respective countries.
Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson were both named in Wales’ starting eleven for their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Belgium.
Wales came into the fixture at the King Baudouin Stadium unbeaten since Craig Bellamy took charge, having drawn four and won five since of his opening matches only to suffer a late defeat in Brussels.
It was a tough start for the side captained by Davies and found themselves a goal behind after fifteen minutes when Johnson was somewhat harshly judged to have handled Kevin De Bruyne’s shot.
Things got worse for Wales, who were 3-0 down by the time the half time whistle had blown.
Brennan Johnson scores for Wales against Belgium
A resurgent Welsh side reappeared after the interval and fought back to level the score at 3-3 courtesy of the Tottenham Hotspur winger, who scored the equaliser.
Sorba Thomas’ headed cross from the left was met by the forehead of Johnson, who in trademark style appeared towards the back post and nodded home from six yards out.

Unfortunately for the Welsh, Kevin de Bruyne popped up with the winning goal three minutes from time to fire home from close range.
Davies and Johnson will now head off for some downtime before the North Londoners are set to report back for pre-season training, with Thomas Frank set to become the new Tottenham head coach following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
Johnson was Tottenham’s top goalscorer in 2024/25
It was a tough start to the season after Johnson deactivated his Instagram account following abuse from some social media users.
The 24-year-old did bounce back and went on an impressivse goalscoring run when he netted seven times in seven matches for club and country, but kept his most important goal for the Europa League win against Manchester United in Bilbao.
