On August 20th, the curtain closed on the first round of the Premier League with a 1-1 draw between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur. In this match, new Tottenham signing Solanke made his league debut but failed to score.
According to post-match reports from British media outlet The Mirror, despite having opportunities, Solanke was unable to score on his debut.
The media wrote that last year Tottenham started like a runaway train but eventually fell behind. The club spent £65 million on Solanke, hoping he would bring new energy to the team. During the game, Spurs took a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Porro, but the Australian’s team couldn’t maintain their advantage until the end.
In the view of the media, Leicester City’s return to the Premier League saw 37-year-old veteran Vardy, despite his physical condition and competitive form being far from what they were during their championship-winning season, still giving Tottenham a harsh lesson.
The Mirror believes that apart from Porro’s successful goal in the 29th minute, attempts by Johnson, Romero, and Son Heung-min all nearly resulted in goals. Tottenham had the chance to win this match but met with strong resistance from the Foxes and could only swallow the bitter pill.
