AMC: Christian Eriksen – 9/10
Got his first two goals of the season with contrasting free kicks. The first was an underwhelming hit which Fabianski made a complete mess of, but the second beautifully picked out the top corner. The best player on the park.
ST: Harry Kane – 5/10
A disappointing day for the England striker was epitomised by an ugly near-post hack which went into his own net. His decision-making in the final third seemed hazed, and he was substituted 10 minutes from the end.
Substitutes
Andros Townsend – 6/10
Started really brightly upon his arrival, but fluffed a great opportunity on the break and his confidence seemed hit thereafter. Needs to find an alternative move to the ‘cut inside and shoot left-footed’.
Clinton N’Jie – 5/10
The summer signing from Lyon has pace and trickery in abundance, but it is clear that he has a lot to work on with his end product. One shot went out for a throw-in and a couple of crosses weren’t much better. Patience needed.
Mousa Dembele – 6/10
The Belgian made his first Premier League appearance in a month as a replacement for Kane. He’s an option Pochettino will be glad to have back, although one stray pass exposed Spurs to a late counter-attack.
