Solanke’s goal was Spurs’s first and proved the perfect response to falling behind to a Bryan Mbeumo stunner after just 22 seconds. Solanke's strike also encapsulated what Spurs were about on this sunlit September Saturday afternoon as James Maddison pinched the ball, forced a save, and Solanke swept home the rebound.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke speaking to BBC Match of the Day on scoring his first goal for the club: "[It feels] fantastic. To get the win here meant a lot to all of us. We have had some great performances to start the season but haven't managed to get the to match that so today we wanted to mix them both together.

Dominic Solanke has aimed a dig at Tottenham's critics after scoring his first goal for the club in their 3-1 win over Brentford on Saturday. The forward cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo's early opener, with further goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison giving Spurs all three points.
