Johnson deactivated his social media account and as a result, he has now scored in six consecutive games.

“I think it’s different for everybody, but for sure there’s something in it because I think for him it was clearly affecting him with social media and it’s (deleting the account) clearly had a real positive impact," Earnshaw told BBC Radio Wales.

"It’s no coincidence for him because I think the reason he deactivated it was because of all the negativity and everything was going into his game and over thinking and then all of a sudden he was thinking about that as he’s playing."

Johnson scored for Spurs in a 3-2 loss to Brighton on Sunday in the Premier League.
