Dominic Solanke Celebrates Goal Against Bodø/Glimt with "Shinzō wo Sasageyo" Salute from Attack on Titan

Dominic Solanke celebrated his goal against Bodø/Glimt with the "Shinzō wo Sasageyo" salute from Attack on Titan, which translates to "Offer up your hearts."

This gesture, inspired by the anime's iconic theme song, added a dramatic flair to his penalty conversion in Tottenham Hotspur’s 3–1 victory over Bodø/Glimt in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final on May 1, 2025.

The final score was Tottenham Hotspur 3–1 Bodø/Glimt. Tottenham's goals were scored by Brennan Johnson (1st minute), James Maddison (26th minute), and Dominic Solanke (penalty, 58th minute). Bodø/Glimt’s only goal came from Ulrik Saltnes (83rd minute). Solanke’s penalty extended Tottenham’s lead to 3–0, but Saltnes' late goal for Bodø/Glimt injected renewed hope for the Norwegian side ahead of the return leg in Norway.

Solanke, known for his anime fandom, has previously celebrated goals with anime-themed gestures. His recent salute to Attack on Titan adds to his unique repertoire of goal celebrations. The second leg of the semi-final is scheduled for May 8, 2025, at Aspmyra Stadion in Bodø, where Tottenham will aim to secure their place in the final.
