'It doesn't feel like a win!' Dominic Solanke hails Tottenham's mentality after battling back with 10 men against Manchester United
Dominic Solanke expressed mixed feelings after Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Manchester United, noting that while the team showed resilience with 10 men, they missed opportunities to win. The result provides a potential turning point for a struggling Spurs side currently in the relegation zone.
Why it matters
The match highlights the high-stakes pressure on Tottenham's management and players during a difficult start to 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."
