Solanke’s goal was Spurs’s first and proved the perfect response to falling behind to a Bryan Mbeumo stunner after just 22 seconds.

Ange Postecoglou hailed Dominic Solanke ’s first goal for Tottenham a “great moment” after it helped Spurs return to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Brentford. Solanke netted an eighth-minute equaliser to cancel out the Bees’ first-minute lead and delivered another encouraging performance up front.

Ange Postecoglou has called for patience from anyone rushing to judge Dominic Solanke after his £65million move from Bournemouth.
