Alan Shearer slams ‘awkward’ 6/10 Tottenham star after Manchester United game

Alan Shearer strongly criticized Dominic Solanke's performance following Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite Solanke scoring a 92nd-minute equalizer to secure a point for 10-man Spurs, Shearer stated on Match of the Day that the forward was "nowhere near good enough," highlighting his awkwardness, lack of confidence, and poor movement during missed first-half opportunities.

Tottenham had fallen behind to a Bryan Mbeumo strike after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off, but Solanke headed past Senne Lammens late on. While Shearer argued Solanke must be more clinical given his transfer fee, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi defended his captain, arguing that the criticism was undeserved and expressing confidence in the striker.
