LONDON - Dominic Solanke scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur blitzed Aston Villa in the second half on Nov 3, winning 4-1 to move just two points behind their rivals for a top-four finish in the English Premier League.
All four Spurs goals came in a storming second half after Morgan Rogers put the visitors ahead in the first period.
Brennan Johnson pulled the rejuvenated home side level shortly after half-time.
Solanke then took centre stage, producing a delicate dinked finish to put Spurs ahead in the 75th minute before converting substitute Richarlison's cross four minutes later.
James Maddison added gloss by firing home a free kick deep into stoppage time.
"We always believe we can score many goals. It all came together today in the second half," Solanke told Sky Sports.
"We had to adapt to the way they were playing. At half-time, we had time to regroup and discuss what we had to do. It's been a few games without one (goal). I've been trying to get one and I got two. Buzzing with it. Nice dink finish, I enjoyed that.
