Dominic Solanke sends three-word message to Djed Spence after Tottenham latest
Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke took to social media to heap praise on teammate Djed Spence after their 1-0 Premier League win over Man United on Sunday (February 16).
The 27-year-old was forced to watch Tottenham’s much-needed from the sidelines after picking up a knee injury while in training earlier in the season.
Solanke has since missed their last eight games across all competitions, being knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup in the process.
James Maddison scored the only goal of the game, aiming a sly dig at United icon Roy Keane on social media following their recent war of words.
Spence, 24, was impressive in the win over United, with many Tottenham fans praising his performance despite playing out of position at left-back.
Tottenham welcomed back four players from injury in their win over United, with Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, and Wilson Odobert all making their returns.
