Johnson finally broke the deadlock early in the second half to give his team the lead, however Tom Cairney equalized for Fulham and the game ended 1–1.

Losing Solanke for another game would be a big blow for Spurs as he has been an ever-present since joining.

Postecoglou noted that his loss had an impact on the team after the game, referencing the absence of other forwards.

He said: “It doesn't help (Solanke missed the game). That's plus Richarlison is out, Wilson (Odobert) is out and Mikey Moore is out. We're pretty short at the top.”

Although his role is not limited to just scoring, as he plays a very important role in the preparation of each match.
