Week after week, Manor Solomon came off the bench for Fulham and scored some great goals, including an 89th minute winner against Brighton that kept his side strong in the fight for a place in Europe next year. In the English “Daily Mail” they wrote about the Israeli and the path he took from the serious injury to returning to the fields and influencing his team.
“Menor Solomon is making up for lost time after the injury early on. His winning goal against Brighton against his former coach pushed his team forward in the battle for Europe,” it said.
“The 23-year-old Israeli broke into consciousness after scoring against Real Madrid in a 2:3 away match. After arriving at Fulham, he was injured and completed a difficult year on and off the field, and it seems that maybe now he sees the light at the end of the tunnel.”
The article described Solomon’s big moment: “Despite the goal against Nottingham Forest, his biggest moment so far came against Brighton on Saturday. The Cottagers spent most of the game in their own half and, frankly, didn’t look like they were going to score – until Solomon came on “.
“Marco Silva said before the game that Solomon could make their tough difference to Europe and he showed for the second week in a row that he can provide a match-winning spark.”
As I remember, at the end of the game Solomon praised his coach: “He deserves all the credit, it was an excellent finish on his part. He is improving and he deserves it because 2022 was so difficult for him, on the field but also off the field. Everything that happened in his life, also in his professional life. He feels Better, he helps the team, he scores goals. He enjoys the Premier League because he is a boy who loves football. I am really happy for him and he is ready to help us more and more.”
Solomon’s next invitation to score and maybe even start in the lineup for the first time will come already on Friday when his team hosts Wolves.
