Welsh media reacts to Everton ace Brennan Johnson's cameo in Norway win
Everton's Brennan Johnson came off the bench as Wales beat Norway 2-1 on Thursday.
The Blues ace made his 48th appearance for the Dragons as they secured victory at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Craig Bellamy's side took a vital three points in their UEFA Nations League A group clash.
Dan James and Neco Williams struck to cancel out Oscar Bobb's opener in a tense contest.
Johnson replaced the Leeds man after 76 minutes and his impact on the game was not substantial.
The media in his homeland were less than impressed with his latest cameo.
How did the Welsh media react to Everton star Brennan Johnson's display
Johnson's late cameo was still assessed after the final whistle, despite the fact he was only on the pitch for 14 minutes.
Wales Online handed him a five out of 10 rating, saying: "Johnson entered the field in the 75th minute, replacing the dangerous James, but failed to offer the same attacking threat."
Y Clwb Pel Droad gave him a six, as they compared his showing to Cardiff's Joel Coelwill.
They said the Championship star "did his job with minimal fuss" and wrote "as above" for the Toffees man.
The media have had their say, but what do the stats tell us about Johnson's showing.
What do the stats say about Johnson's showing?
The Hill Dickinson Stadium ace had just five touches in the contest, per FotMob data.
He completed all three passes that he attempted for a 100 per cent success rate, and made one pass into the final third.
Johnson also made one defensive contribution, with one tackle after he entered the pitch.
In terms of duels, he won one of two on the ground, for a 50 per cent success rate.
He faces a similar problem to the one he does with David Moyes' side, as he is not always a regular starter for his country.
He started on the right last time out in the 1-0 win against Ipswich but he needs to do more on the global stage if he is to keep his place.
His displays with his national team, coupled with Tyler Dibling's showings with the England youth team may hand Moyes a selection dilemma when his side face Hull City.
The Scottish manager may well chose to hand the younger man the opportunity to impress, as momentum gathers around his performances, after a tough first year on Merseyside last season.
