John Johnson is one of the best defenders in the league and he did not do any damage to his reputation by putting in an exemplary performance at the back.

Initially, his partner Andre Bikey looked solid, but Johnson grew into the game and nullified the attack of Kerala Blasters.

During the first half, Seminlen Doungel was clear on goal, but the last-ditch tackle from John Johnson to take the ball off the attacker proved to be yet another decisive moment in the game.

His defensive astuteness spoke volumes by cutting plenty of supplies from the wings and the midfielders.

There is no doubt that Steve Coppell has built a solid backline with John Johnson and Andre Bikey as they continue to press for a place in the top four.
