Solanke, signed from Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £65 million (S$111.6 million), has had a slow start to the season due to an ankle injury and has missed two games since making his debut.
The 27-year-old's 68th-minute strike against Qarabag was his second in as many games following his goal in a league win over Brentford and wrapped up a comfortable victory for 10-man Spurs.
"He's getting there," Postecoglou said. "He didn't do pre-season with us and then he has one game and then he's out for two weeks, while the other guys were building up their match fitness.
"Great for him to get another goal but his all-round performance was really strong. When you're down to 10 men, you need your striker to be able to hold up the play and do some hard running."
