Bournemouth's Solanke Named In Championship Team Of The Week After Fourth Career Brace

Published: December 14, 2020

Dominic Solanke has been included in the Championship Team of the Week powered by Whoscored.com ratings following his fine display in the 5-0 rout of Huddersfield Town this past weekend.

The 2017 U20 World Cup winner scored a brace - his second of the 2020-2021 season - to take his tally to eight goals from 18 appearances, and provided an assist for his team's third goal netted by David Brooks.

It's the fourth time in Solanke's professional career that he has scored twice in a single match, the others coming in the 2015-2016 season during a loan spell at Vitesse and last season in a 4-1 win vs Leicester City.

In a 4-3-3 formation, the Anglo-Nigerian, who was rated at 9.66 out of ten, was deployed on the right side of attack.

Against the Terriers, he finished with a joint-game high three shots, two of which ended up in the back of the net, won a joint-game high three aerial duels and was also the stat leader for key passes with two.

Solanke was accurate in 85.7 percent of his passes, committed one foul and made one clearance.

Only Brentford's Ivan Toney, Blackburn Rovers' Adam Armstrong, Reading's Lucas Joao and Norwich City's Teemu Pukki have scored more goals than Solanke in the Championship this season.
