Brennan Johnson instantly redeems himself after embarrassing Wales moment vs Denmark

Everton winger Brennan Johnson showed both sides of his game in Wales' UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark.

The summer signing from Crystal Palace has yet to truly find his feet at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Johnson has featured seven times since arriving on Merseyside, with his only goal involvements to date coming against Preston in the Carabao Cup.

The 25-year-old is now away with his national side for games with Portugal, Denmark (twice) and Norway.

Johnson played the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 loss to Portugal on Thursday, and he was named in the starting line-up against Denmark on Sunday evening.

And it is fair to say the winger blew hot and cold in Copenhagen.

How did Brennan Johnson perform in Wales' clash vs Denmark?

Johnson played 82 minutes of the match in the Danish capital, which Wales lost 2-0.

The former Tottenham player struggled to get into the match for the first 35 minutes or so, as did pretty much all of his attacking teammates.

Johnson's first real involvement came eight minutes before half-time when he stood over a free-kick won by Daniel James.

With set-piece specialist Harry Wilson not in the squad due to injury, Johnson got the nod to take on the free-kick from 20 yards out.

It is fair to say he did not impress with the effort, which was nowhere near the target, much to the frustration of his teammates.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, Nathan Blake slammed the "poor" attempt from Johnson. 'Embarrassing' would have been a better word.

However, it did not take long for him to show what he is capable of when he is on it.

About five minutes later, he superbly beat his man to create a glorious chance for Connor Roberts.

As Nia Jones said on BBC 2 Wales, it was "a brilliant touch from Brennan", albeit there was nothing to show for it at the end.

The encouraging signs David Moyes can take from Johnson display

Johnson was a lot better in the final 10 minutes of the first half and had the odd bright moment in the second period.

As Blake pointed out on commentary: "Brennan Johnson has been amazing the last 10 minutes [of the half]."

It is quite clear that Johnson is a confidence player. If he is in the mood, he is a brilliant player.

When he is off it, though, as he often has been as an Everton player, he does not look to have the quality to be anywhere near the squad.

The hope is that he gains confidence over these three weeks with Wales and is then ready to hit the ground running for Everton upon his return.
