'Leicester's greatest' - how 'special' Vardy outshone Solanke
Vardy has scored 137 goals in 308 Premier League appearancesAll eyes had been on Tottenham's new £65m striker as Spurs looked to show they had the firepower to battle for the top four, but instead it was a 37-year-old veteran who stole the limelight.
Dominic Solanke is the man Spurs hope will provide the goals that have been missing since Harry Kane's departure to Bayern Munich last year, and while he was unable to provide the sort of impact he would have liked in Monday's 1-1 draw with Leicester, there is plenty of time on his side.
The night belonged to a player who many would have considered his Premier League days to be behind him - Jamie Vardy.
