Solanke's first Spurs goal! Brennan bags again! Madders masterclass!

“I did pick him out because he was the best player on the pitch. Some sections of the media or people have questioned his start to the season, and I think that’s because Tottenham have started poorly. “He has started this season very similar to the beginning of the last.
He was the best player on the opening day at Leicester. Against Everton, he was superb when they won. “Against Newcastle, he helped them dominate the game for long periods and probably should have won, and today in this deeper role that Postecoglu has put him in, as a central midfielder, Kulusevski ahead of him, he was absolutely outstanding.
“He is always brave, goes and gets the ball under pressure, and he’s always positive with his passing. And so many times he set them on the attack because he takes responsibility.” Shearer, meanwh.
