ST: Harry Kane – 8/10
The relief inside White Hart Lane was clear when Kane smartly turned in an Eriksen free-kick which came back off the crossbar. The ball bounced a few yards in front of him and it was a lot trickier finish than it first appeared. He will hope that this goal can reignite the prolific form of last season.
Substitutes
Nacer Chadli 6/10
Has been a regular in Pochettino’s team for much of the last 12 months, but the arrival of Son and N’Jie, and Eriksen’s return to fitness, brings competition for places. Not bad in his 30-minute cameo.
Clinton N’Jie – 7/10
Made a real impact off the bench as his pace gave Spurs a useful counter-attacking outlet. Span away from Nicolas Otamendi cleverly and picked out Lamela for the goal which capped off the win.
Tom Carroll – 6/10
The young midfielder came on for the final five minutes as Lamela was given a standing ovation.
