Bodo/Glimt left Johnson unmarked towards the back post as they quickly fell 1-0 down with less than a minute played.

It made history as Spurs scored in the opening minute of a match in a major European competition for only the second time.

The first occasion came in December 1971 when Martin Peters netted in their 3-0 UEFA Cup win against Rapid Bucharest.

Meanwhile, Johnson has scored the quickest Europa League semi-final goal in history.

The previous record stood at 50 seconds, when Ansgar Knauff scored for Eintracht Frankfurt against West Ham in April 2022.
