But the Tottenham winger also managed to eclipse Welsh footballing royalty after scoring a third goal for his country.

Johnson tripled his haul for the Dragons in a game less than it took Gareth Bale to reach that figure at the start of his own international career.

Fun, and slightly unexpected, fact: Brennan Johnson has scored more goals (three) in his first 25 appearances for Wales than Gareth Bale (two). Admittedly, Bale did spend a lot of those early games at left-back.
