Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 FC København: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 FC København in the Champions League on Tuesday, 04 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, what a thrashing that was! Tottenham Hotspur absolutely dominated FC København, securing a convincing 4-0 victory at home. The result wasn’t a shock, given Spurs’ recent form, but the margin of victory certainly raised eyebrows. Brennan Johnson was the star of the show, bagging a brace before seeing red, but his early impact set the tone for the match.

Despite going down to ten men, Tottenham didn’t let up, with goals from Micky van de Ven and João Palhinha sealing the deal. FC København, coming off a heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund, couldn’t find their footing and struggled to create any real threat. This win extends Tottenham’s unbeaten run and puts them in a strong position in the Champions League, while København will need to regroup quickly.

The stats paint a clear picture of Tottenham’s dominance. With 61% possession, they controlled the game from start to finish, while FC København managed just 39%. Tottenham’s efficiency in front of goal was evident with four goals from just three corners, compared to København’s six corners but no goals.

The successful dribbles percentage was a staggering 59% for Tottenham, while København failed to complete a single dribble. The card count was higher for København with three yellows, while Tottenham had one yellow and one red. These stats underline Tottenham’s control and København’s struggle to keep up.

The game’s turning point came early when Brennan Johnson scored the opener in the 19th minute, assisted by Xavi Simons. Johnson’s second goal in the 51st, assisted by Randal Kolo Muani, put the game beyond doubt. However, his moment of madness led to a red card in the 57th minute after a yellow card upgrade, leaving Tottenham with ten men.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Tottenham continued to press forward, with Micky van de Ven and João Palhinha adding to the scoreline in the 64th and 67th minutes, respectively. FC København’s frustration was evident with three yellow cards, but they couldn’t muster a comeback.

Tottenham lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal and a back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie. The midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr provided stability, while the attacking quartet of Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, and Randal Kolo Muani wreaked havoc. This setup allowed Tottenham to control the game and exploit København’s weaknesses effectively.

FC København opted for a 4-4-2 formation, with Dominik Kotarski between the sticks and a backline of Junnosuke Suzuki, Gabriel Pereira, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, and Marcos López. The midfield was anchored by Jordan Larsson, Lukas Lerager, William Clem, and Elias Achouri, with Youssoufa Moukoko and Mohamed Elyounoussi up top. Despite the solid structure, København struggled to cope with Tottenham’s attacking prowess and failed to create meaningful chances.

Brennan Johnson was our Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and rightly so. Despite his red card, his brace in the first half set the tone for Tottenham’s dominant performance. His early goals not only put København on the back foot but also showcased his clinical finishing and ability to make an impact in big games.
