"Tottenham ran riot against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday, cruising to an emphatic 4-0 win despite being reduced to 10 men. Micky van de Ven's stunning solo effort was the highlight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Brennan Johnson put the hosts ahead with his first Champions League goal, knocking the ball past Copenhagen keeper Dominik Kotarski before firing into an open net from an awkward angle off the right."
"Van de Ven showcased some brilliant attacking flair with a remarkable individual goal 64 minutes in, running almost the entire length of the pitch on his own before rifling in a powerful near-post finish. Joao Palhinha, who was brought on following Johnson's sending off, then added a fourth, latching onto Cristian Romero's pass and slotting home calmly from close range."
"Spurs could easily have had more. Kolo Muani was denied by Kotarski and Richarlison twice struck the woodwork, first with a header and then from the penalty spot, after Dane Scarlett drew a foul inside the box. The victory lifts Spurs up to seventh in the Champions League standings and marks their first home win in any competition since September."
Tottenham dominated FC Copenhagen 4-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while playing with ten men after Brennan Johnson opened the scoring with his first Champions League goal.

The team responded strongly, with Micky van de Ven producing a long solo run and powerful near-post finish, and Joao Palhinha adding a fourth after coming on. Spurs created significantly more chances, registering 3.31 expected goals to Copenhagen's 0.33 xG, and moved up to seventh in the Champions League standings.
