Tottenham Hotspur fell to their first Europa League defeat of the season on Thursday evening as Galatasaray triumphed in a 3-2 win in Istanbul.
Ange Postecoglou’ℱs 🍒charges conceded after just six minutes as Yunus Akgun half-volleyed the ball into the top corner after Archie Gray had nodded away a free-kick.
equalised with his first se♒nior goal on 19 minutes, but Victor Osimhen went on to grab a first-half brace to leave the visitors trailing 3-1 at the break.
Things got worse for Spurs on the hour mark when Lankshear, already on a booking, was sent off for a rash tackle on Gab♛riel Sara.
To their credit, Tottenham pulled a goal 🌜back in the 69th minute as Dominic Solanke netted his third in three games and fifth of the sea൲son.
The🌠 Lilywhites pushed for an equaliser, Dejan Kulusevski missing a golden chance late on, but ultimately couldn’t get ♍over the line.
Despite Tottenham’s loss, Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle had some kind thꦆings to say about one of the club꧂’s players on the night.

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle says Dominic Solanke is in a ‘confident mood’
The player in question is Dominic Solanke, who now has six goaဣls for Spurs this season and has netted three in his last t𝔉wo games.
Solanke, who is in the🍨 latest England squad, turned home Pedro Porro’s low ball across the area with a nea𝄹t flick to get Tottenham back to within a goal.
“A lovely little finish,” Hoddle ♒said on TNT Sports (8/11/2024, 7🦄:17pm).
“Dominic Solanke with a clever little back flick, he is in a confident mood. Yo❀u sense Galatasaray have switched off.”
What Sam Allardyce has said about Solanke
Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast, Sam Allardyce said he has been surprised by Solanke and how late he has bloomed.
“Dominic Solanke has surprised me with the fact that he’s, well, will he be 26? He💮’s in his mi💧d-20s and It’s taken him so long to become a goalscorer,” Allardyce said.
“Because it was always⛦ the lack of goals that which ended up being at Bournemouth.
“And even in his time at Bournemouth, the first two seasons, it wa♏sn’t a great goal-scoring record until last s𓆏eason.”
Solanke will be eager to go into the international break on a high note as Tottenham face Ipswich in their final game before the league grindﷺs to a halt.
