Tottenham Hotspur's Solanke Stuns Aston Villa With A Brace
Dom Solanke handed Tottenham Hotspur a much-needed victory as he scored twice in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Solanke's Stunning Brace
Solanke opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a well-taken finish after being played through by Harry Kane. The England international doubled his tally in the 70th minute with a clinical strike from the edge of the box.
Villa's Struggles Continue
Aston Villa struggled to create clear-cut chances in the match and were punished for their defensive lapses. Solanke's goals were timely for Tottenham, who had lost their previous two league games and were under pressure to deliver.
Tottenham's Relief
The victory eased the pressure on Tottenham manager Nuno Espírito Santo and lifted the team to seventh in the Premier League table. Aston Villa, meanwhile, remain fifteenth and have now lost three of their last four league matches.
