'It doesn't feel like a win!' Dominic Solanke hails Tottenham's mentality after battling back with 10 men against Manchester United
Dominic Solanke reflects on Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Manchester United, noting that while the team showed resilience playing with 10 men, the result felt bittersweet. Despite dominating early play, Solanke admitted he missed several opportunities to secure a full victory.
Why it matters
The match highlights the ongoing struggle for consistency for Tottenham under manager De Zerbi during the 2026-27 season.
Dominic Solanke has lauded the resilience shown by his Tottenham teammates after they fought back to secure a dramatic point against Manchester United. Despite playing with a numerical disadvantage for the closing stages at Old Trafford, Spurs refused to fold and eventually found a way past their hosts in stoppage time.
Solanke has admitted that while his side’s dramatic late comeback at Old Trafford demonstrated immense character, the 1-1 draw against Manchester United does not quite carry the satisfaction of a full victory. Reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster of the match, Solanke told BBC MOTD : "I wouldn’t say it feels like a win. In the first half, we played so well. Dominated the majority and should have been a couple of goals ahead."
