Christian Eriksen – 7 – Wonderful cross to set up Spurs’ opener and was at the forefront of Spurs’ early pressure.

Dele Alli –8 – What International break?! Alli was a livelier in the early stages of this game and contributed to inspiring panic in the blues back line. Excellently taken header for Spurs’ opener delivered superbly by Eriksen.

Antonio Rudiger – 4 – Wilted under Spurs’ early pressure, didn’t get tight enough and made some silly passes. 

David Luiz – 3 – Truly terrible performance. He appeared to move out of the way of Kane’s goal and allowed Spurs’ attackers to frequently get the better of him.
