Dominic Solanke was the undeniable man of the match as Tottenham beat Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League.
Tottenham had a sea of good performers against Villa. Pape Matar Sarr was brilliant against the Villans, but it was in fact Solanke who stole the show.
His two goals made sure all three points were Spurs’ at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the day. It was a fine display of finishing from the centre forward.
Dominic Solanke’s impressive display also attracted attention on social media.

Taking to Instagram after the fixture, the forward shared a simple three-word message accompanied by a number of photos, which read, ‘second half summoning’.
Solanke was met with multiple responses from Tottenham Hotspur teammates.
Pedro Porro wrote: ‘My striker’, with lovestruck eyes.
James Maddison said: ‘Told you’, with a smiley face.
Wilson Odobert put: ‘Akiiiiiii’, with a clapping emoji and a love heart.
Dejan Kulusevski also put a love heart.
It wasn’t just Tottenham players with praise, the likes of Max Aarons, Adebayo Akinfenwa, and Justin Kluivert also commented, alongside many more, including Tottenham transfer target Angel Gomes.
Angel Gomes also responds to Solanke
The former Manchester United star and England teammate also issued a response to Solanke’s post, with the breathtaking emoji, indicating he was impressed with the 27-year-old’s performance.
Tottenham have been linked to Gomes recently, with Spurs seriously considering a move to sign the midfielder on a free transfer with his contract set to expire with Lille next summer.
Whether that materialises or not remains to be seen, but his relationship with Solanke will definitely be a plus in helping that formulate.
