fans quickly react to Morgan’s comment on solanke instagram after celebrating the two goal Victory against his England teammate Morgan Roger’s
Rogers gave Villa a 32nd-minute lead at Spurs from a corner but they were pegged back by Brennan Johnson just after half-time and a quickfire Dominic Solanke brace took the game away before James Maddison slipped in a late free-kick.
Dominic Solanke scored twice as Tottenham came from behind to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The £65m summer signing doubled his league goal tally for the season with two goals in four second-half minutes as Ange Postecoglou’s side climbed to seventh in the table.
Solanke put Spurs ahead with a delightful first by lifting the ball over the onrushing Emiliano Martinez from Dejan Kulusevski’s pass, before Richarlison picked out his team-mate to slot in and put a late fightback beyond Villa.
Morgan Rogers had given Villa the lead with the game’s first shot on target after 32 minutes, profiting after Spurs failed to deal with Lucas Digne’s in-swinging corner.
The visitors, denied an opener less than two minutes earlier when Amadou Onana’s header hit the post, were impressively organised and successfully absorbed large spells of pressure in the first half.
But that good work was undone within four minutes of the restart when Brennan Johnson met Son Heung-min’s excellent cross from the left, transforming the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and laying the foundations for his side’s latest comeback.
Substitute James Maddison then added a fourth with a wonderful free-kick deep in stoppage time as Spurs repeated their 4-1 win from a goal behind against West Ham in their previous home league game.
Victory ensured Tottenham reduced the gap to the top four following last week’s loss at Crystal Palace, with fourth-placed Arsenal two points ahead, as fifth-placed Villa missed the chance to go third.
Villa had broken the deadlock just after the half-hour mark through Morgan Rogers, but Brennan Johnson levelled within four minutes of the restart.
The hosts then completed the turnaround in the final quarter of an hour, with Solanke striking twice in the space of four minutes before substitute James Maddison put some gloss on the scoreline with a stoppage-time free-kick.
Spurs climb to seventh in the table with 16 points, two places and two points behind Villa, who missed the chance to jump into the top four.
