LONDON : Striker Dominic Solanke scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur as Ange Postecoglou’s team recovered from conceding inside the opening minute to beat Brentford 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Bryan Mbeumo’s acrobatic volley stunned the home crowd but 65-million-pound ($86.59-million) signing Solanke calmed the jitters when he tapped in a rebound in the eighth minute.
Brennan Johnson fired Tottenham ahead after 28 minutes but Tottenham’s lead looked vulnerable in the second half until James Maddison was set up Son Heung-min to make it 3-1.
Tottenham’s second win of the season lifted them to 10th with seven points from five games with Brentford, who have six points, dropping to 12th.
