Postecoglou praised the work ethic of Dominic Solanke as his goals helped Spurs reach the Europa League final

Transcript

00:00He scored in the second leg of the quarterfinal and the semifinal.

00:03Just how important is it to have a striker who can step up in those big moments?

00:07I think he started that scoring run just after he asked me that he hasn't scored for quite a while.

00:13That's why I always take a breath, a bit of yoga, just let things go.

00:19He missed a lot of football, Dom.

00:21Again, he's a kind of guy who, when he's been playing for us, he just works his socks off.

00:26But he had an interrupted season as well.

00:28Yeah, he's crucial to us.

00:30I mean, I think it's no mistake, it's not just the goals he scores, for sure.

00:34He adds so much to our game in terms of how hard he works for the team, both with and without the ball.

00:41But, you know, he's getting goals at crucial stages.

00:44And, you know, like I said, his first year at the club, I think he's been outstanding.

00:49But, again, he's had his issues with unfortunate injuries, no fault of his own.

00:54But, yeah, guys who can really build something around over the next few years.
