Dive into Bwin’s 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.

Tottenham Hotspur delivered a commanding performance, securing a 4-0 victory over FC København at home. The result was not surprising given Tottenham’s recent form and the disparity in quality between the two sides. Brennan Johnson’s early goal set the tone, and despite his red card in the 57th minute, Tottenham maintained control and added three more goals. This win extends Tottenham’s unbeaten run in the Champions League, showcasing their dominance and ability to perform under pressure.

FC København struggled to cope with Tottenham’s attacking prowess, marking their second consecutive heavy defeat after losing 4-2 to Borussia Dortmund. The Danish side failed to register a shot on target, highlighting their lack of threat. Tottenham’s ability to score four goals, even after being reduced to ten men, underscores their depth and tactical flexibility. This match further exposed FC København’s defensive frailties and their challenges in competing at this level.

Tottenham Hotspur dominated possession with 61% compared to FC København’s 39%, reflecting their control over the game’s tempo. Despite having fewer corners (3 to FC København’s 6), Tottenham’s efficiency in front of goal was evident with four goals from four shots on target. Their successful dribble rate of 59% further demonstrated their ability to break down the opposition’s defence. FC København’s three yellow cards and lack of successful dribbles indicate their struggle to maintain composure and create meaningful attacks.

The match’s pivotal moment came early when Brennan Johnson scored in the 19th minute, assisted by Xavi Simons, setting the tone for Tottenham’s dominance. Johnson’s red card in the 57th minute could have shifted the momentum, but Tottenham quickly responded with goals from Micky van de Ven and Joao Palhinha, showcasing their resilience and depth. Randal Kolo Muani’s assist for Wilson Odobert’s goal in the 51st minute further highlighted Tottenham’s attacking threat. These key moments underscored Tottenham’s ability to maintain control and capitalise on opportunities despite being a man down.

Tottenham Hotspur 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 proved lethal. This lineup and formation allowed Tottenham to control the game and exploit FC København’s defensive weaknesses effectively.

FC København deployed a 4-4-2 formation, with Dominik Kotarski in goal 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 leading the attack. Despite this setup, FC København struggled to create meaningful chances and were overwhelmed by Tottenham’s attacking prowess.

Brennan Johnson was named Man of the Match for his impactful performance despite being sent off. He scored the opening goal in the 19th minute, setting the tone for Tottenham’s victory. His early contribution was crucial in establishing Tottenham’s dominance, and his red card did not detract from his overall influence on the game. Johnson’s performance exemplified his importance to the team’s attacking strategy.
