How many goals Dominic Solanke once claimed he would score if he played Non-League football for one season
Dominic Solanke helped Tottenham avoid a hugely embarrassing result in the FA Cup against Tamworth on Sunday.
The England international was summoned by Ange Postecoglou in 🎶the 68th minute as the🎉 National League side were holding Spurs to a 0-0 scoreline, replacing Mikey Moore.
Tamworth eventually took Tottenham to extra-time, where the £65m striker helped force an own goal from Nathan M🌊uya Tshikuna in the 101st minute, with goals from Dejan Kulusev🦩ski and Brennan Johnson ultimately securing a 3-0 win.
However, it was far from an easy game, and the spirited display from Tamworth actually made a comment from Dominic Solanke – uttered by the England iꦓnternational back in May – se🐼em quite naive.
Dominic Solanke once backed himself to score over 100 goals if he played a season in Non-League
When speaking to Rising Baller💛s back in May, the Tottenham No.19 was asked how he feels he would fare if he 🎃played a 38-game season at Non-League level.
Solanke – who Postecoglou wants to rest – began his answerไ wജith humility, saying: “I think it would be tough, to be fair, because it’s so different.”
However, after being accused of l൩ying, the man from Reading admitted: “I’d probably say a good few a game. I’m saying triple digits. 100 and something.”
On that note, let’s take a look at how Solanke performed stat✃istically against Ta🅰mworth – to see if he was able to back up his bold claim.
How Dominic Solanke performed in Tamworth 0-3 Tottenham
In 52 minutes of action against Tamworth – who currently sit 16th in the National 🔯League – Solanke was unable to even register a shot, let alone a shot on target.
The 27-year-old took 19 touches of the ball, compl🥀eted just five of his attempted seven passes, and also failed to complete the one dribble he attempted.
Furthermore, Solanke – who has been compared to Hernan Crespo by C♛arlton Cole – lost possession on nine occasions, as shown by SofaScore.
Of cours꧑e, there is no doubt the Tottenham No.19 is a talented striker, but he failed to back up his claim to Rising Ballers at the Lamb Ground on Sunday.
