Tottenham extended their lead shortly after halftime, providing some breathing space after a largely dominant performance, but Thomas Frank faced a setback following Johnson’s challenge.
The forward's foul was upgraded to a straight red card after a VAR review, with referee Erik Lambrechts deciding to alter his initial ruling.
This marked the first time the 24-year-old had been sent off in his career.
Frank’s team quickly moved on from the incident, going 3-0 up moments later thanks to Micky van de Ven's sixth goal of the season, a remarkable solo effort.
Joao Palhinha made it 4-0 just seconds after the restart, following Cristian Romero’s impressive run from deep, leading to the midfielder scoring at the back post.
