Although he didn’t have the desired impact in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester, Dominic Solanke is the player Spurs are hoping will score the goals that have been lacking since Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich last year. He also has plenty of time on his side.
The evening belonged to Jamie Vardy, a player who many would have thought was past his prime in the Premier League.
Just before the hour mark, Vardy headed in a cross from close range to equalize Leicester’s first effort on goal after Pedro Porro gave Tottenham the lead in a first half they dominated.
Vardy gave a reminder of his amazing skill in front of goal, which appears to have become better with age, despite his advanced years. After turning 30, he scored 104 goals in the Premier League, all for Leicester.
“I think Vardy is the best player Leicester has ever had,” Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, stated on Sports. He is a unique football player.
