Manor Solomon Assists in Tottenham's 1:2 Victory Over Chelsea
Manor Solomon helped Tottenham secure a 1:2 pre-season victory against Chelsea in Sydney. The Israeli winger provided a key assist in the 17th minute of the match.
Manor Solomon continues to take advantage of the opportunities he receives in preparation for the new season. The Israeli winger started today (Saturday) in Tottenham's lineup and assisted the opening goal in a 1:2 victory over Chelsea in a pre-season friendly held in Sydney in front of about 80,000 spectators.
Despite rumors of possible reinforcements for the Spurs' front line, Solomon continued to enjoy the trust of coach Roberto De Zerbi. It should be noted that the Israeli played 67 strong minutes before being replaced by young Mikey Moore.
In the 17th minute, it was Solomon who led Tottenham's most beautiful move. The Israeli received the ball on the right wing, lifted his head despite double coverage, and found Sandro Tonali with an accurate pass on the edge of the box. The Italian midfielder shot towards the goal, the ball hit one of the defenders and deceived the goalkeeper, making it 1:0 for Tottenham.
However, the lead lasted only four minutes. Jamie Gittens broke through on the left wing and crossed an accurate ball to Estevao, who beat the defender and equalized from close range to 1:1.
In the second half, Tottenham got into trouble when Kevin Danso, who came on as a substitute, was sent off with a red card just three minutes after entering the pitch (48th minute). Chelsea not only failed to take advantage of the numerical advantage to complete a turnaround, but also conceded a goal two minutes into stoppage time from Richarlison.
