Two-goal Dom your Player of the Match after Villa comeback win
Mon 04 November 2024, 17:06|Tottenham Hotspur
Dominic Solanke has been named your HSBC Player of the Match after he bagged a brace in Sunday afternoon's 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League
Leading from the front against the Villans, incredible Dominic's all-round display was enough to earn him your votes as he came top of our Player of the Match poll on our Official App for the first time.
A summer arrival from AFC Bournemouth, Dom has settled into life in Ange Postecoglou's system like a duck to water.
Ange had iterated how the forward's attribute's would compliment his style of play to a tee and we saw exactly that against the Villans with the England international not just scoring twice, but showing a shed tonne of other key aspects to his role and game which helped us come from behind to defeat the West Midlands outfit.
Always harrying and pressing the Villa backline, the striker ran himself into the ground for the team - much like he has done every time he has worn the Spurs shirt so far.
Constantly on defenders' cases, winning back the ball and looking to create, it was just what was needed to constantly get us on the front foot. And, for all his hard work, he got his just rewards with two tidy goals. The first a delightful dink over Emiliano Martinez and the second a true poacher's goal.
Yet, it was still his all-round game which shone through, which was most notable in the final stages of the game. Villa defender Pau Torres thought he had time and space to pick a pass but Dom hadn't stopped his hassling of the backline, running over 30 yards to poke the ball away from the Spaniard and retrieve possession. An exertion at such a late stage of the game which got Ange applauding his front man before our fans started singing his name once more - something which was saluted by our Head Coach.
Watch - Dom chips in
