Djed Spence has poked fun at his Tottenham teammate Brennan Johnson after coming up against the winger when England took on Wales on Thursday.
Spence played all 90 minutes in his first start for England as they overcame Wales 3-0 at Wembley.
The Tottenham full-back played as a left-back for the majority of the encounter, which meant that he directly came up against Brennan Johnson, who started on the right for the Dragons.
The Spurs winger did not get any joy against his club teammate and was replaced by Craig Bellamy on 76 minutes, and Spence is certainly not letting him forget who came out on top in their battle.

Spence has welcomed a number of wingers into his ‘petentiary’ over recent weeks, and he is not shy of announcing his dominance over them on social media.
It is now widely acknowledged that Spence is one of the best one-v-one defenders in the Premier League, and Johnson became the latest to find out just how difficult it is to get the better of the 25-year-old.
After making his first start for England, Spence wrote on Instagram: “Very Happy to get my first England start with a Great Win. But forget about all that emotional stuff for a second .. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE. LET’S TAKE A WALK TO THE PENITENTIARY BROTHER.”
He shared a series of images, including the following, showing his dominance over his Tottenham teammate.
Spence is quickly building an aura
While the Tottenham man’s confidence is bordering on arrogance, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Spence is openly challenging any winger to get the better of him, and no one has been able to so far.
The full-back is now building an aura, and one can see that wide-players are now having second thoughts about even taking him on.
