Dominic Solanke continued his impressive run of form at Tottenham Hotspur after scoring in their 3-0 Premier League win at 10-man Manchester United on Sunday, Afrosport reports.
Wales forward Bernnan Johnson set the tone in the third minute before United captain Bruno Fernandes was given a straight red card for a reckless challenge on James Maddison.
Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski made it 2-0 in the 47th minute before Solanke completed the scoring 30 minutes later with a composed finish off an assist from substitute and Senegal midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.
It was the third consecutive league game the England forward of Nigerian heritage scored against Man United, having scored against them both home and away last season while playing for Bournemouth.
He first scored in a similar 3-0 win at Old Trafford for the Cherries before netting in the 2-2 draw at the Vital Stadium.
Solanke thus joins Jemain Defoe and Bukayo Saka as the only English players to have scored in three consecutive league games against Man United.

The 27-year-old is also on a scoring run in three competitive games this season and will hope to make it a fourth when Spurs travel to Ferencvaros in the Europa League on Thursday.
