Manor Solomon Provides Key Assist in Tottenham's Preseason Draw Against Chelsea

Manor Solomon continued his strong preseason form on August 1, 2026, by starting again for Tottenham Hotspur under coach Roberto De Zerbi. In the match against Chelsea, Solomon assisted the opening goal in the 17th minute by delivering a cross to new signing Sandro Tonali. Tonali’s shot deflected off a defender, deceiving Chelsea goalkeeper Teddy Sheringham-Lowe and resulting in a goal. Despite Tottenham taking the lead, Chelsea later equalized.

Sports 5 praised Solomon’s contribution, comparing him to Leandro Trossard and highlighting his ability to consistently provide goals or assists without necessarily having standout performances every game. The outlet emphasized that players like Solomon are essential for any team and suggested that there are many other players Tottenham might consider releasing before him. The positive reception underscores Solomon’s potential importance to Tottenham’s campaign this season.
