Leeds United fresh start for Manor Solomon as Tottenham loan man's goals wipe slate clean
Leeds United winger Manor Solomon believes his two-goal display in the victory at Swansea City is a new beginning for him as he looks to push on at the Whites. The wide man impressed in his first couple of games after arriving from Tottenham Hotspur on loan in the summer, but after a spell out the side through injury, Solomon has struggled of late.
The 25-year-old Israel international was in good form for his country while on international duty the past two weeks and took that into his Leeds return, scoring twice as Leeds came from behind to snatch a dramatic 4-3 win at Swansea City.
Keeping his place in the team with match-winner Wilfried Gnonto dropped to the substitutes bench, Solomon took his chance in the game as Leeds went top of the Championship standings with 16 games played. Now the Spurs man is looking to kick on.

"It means a lot for me," Solomon told Sky Sports when asked about his two goals. "I've been waiting for it. We are really happy with the three points because it was a difficult game today, I'm also pleased with my goals and it feels like a beginning for me.
"The boys were amazing today. They were great assists and I am really happy, but the most important thing is the three points.
"For the first time this season we are top of the league and we are really happy but there is a long way to go. We are not even in the middle of the league games yet, so it's a long way but we are really pleased with where we are. We'll keep trying to win every single game. Today we managed to do that against a very good side, credit to them."
