Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke sets strange record after maiden England start

Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke made his first England start against Uruguay and, in doing so, set a unique record for the Three Lions.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters will not mind the timing of the ongoing international break, given the club’s struggles this season.

Few would have expected things to unravel in this manner, considering the quality within the squad and the added motivation of a World Cup year. However, performances have fallen well below expectations, with many players failing to deliver consistently.
