The striker, who was bought for £65m, had several opportunities to score his first goal for the team, but was unable to beat Foxes goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou insists he was happy with Dominic Solanke's debut in last night's draw at Leicester City.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Postecoglou later said: "Yeah, he was good. He worked hard for the team.

"He had a couple of chances. He will be disappointed he didn't do better with and the overall performance of everyone was OK, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't turn that performance into outcomes.

"We had similar issues last year and if we're going to get to the next level as a team and bridge the gap to the top sides, it is an area of the game we need to improve."

The Australian also said: "We lost our composure and the crowd got behind them, but again finished strong. Just really disappointed we lacked a little cutting edge in the front third, made some poor decisions, lacked some composure and didn't get the reward our football deserved."
