Dominic Solanke makes Tottenham admission that 'everyone in the dressing room knows'

Dominic Solanke remains confident in Tottenham's ability to overcome any challenges despite a tough season that has seen them lose 21 matches across all competitions - but admits the entire squad know they need to work on being more consistent as a team.

Spurs' record signing played a critical role in their Europa League semi-final qualification as they beat Eintracht Frankfurt away from home. Ahead of their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest, Solanke said: "On our day we're good enough to beat anyone. It's just about doing that, really." Reflecting on the significant victory in Germany, he added: "In games like Thursday it's important to produce these big performances and big moments and that's what we did."

Solanke, who endured an 11-match goalless streak, finally broke his drought with a penalty in Frankfurt, but said of his run without scoring: "This stuff happens in football.

"You go through phases where you don't score for a while but today was a big moment and this is what we live for, these big games and big moments. I had to stay cool to take the penalty but obviously I was delighted to score in a big game like this."

Inside Tottenham's camp, there's a buzz of anticipation that this could be the year they end their 17-year trophy drought and reign supreme in Europe.

Yet Solanke cautions that without more consistency, their Europa League ambitions could falter. He said: "We all know we need to be more consistent from game to game. When you have a game like Thursday's, you need to go out there and show no fear and get the job done.

"There's no second chances in knockout football so we knew we had to go and get the job done and that's what we did. The Europa League was something we had our eyes on from the beginning of the season.

"We're not far off it now so hopefully we can keep producing these performances in Europe and the Premier League throughout the rest of the campaign and kick on."
