Aaron Lennon: 7
It’s a shame that the winger is more effectively defensively than in attack these days. He did notch up an assist with a fine cross for Harry Kane though.
Christian Eriksen: 9
His stunning set piece delivery proved the difference between the teams. His stats for the season – 7 goals and 8 assists in 22 league appearances – are starting to look mighty impressive. He can be forgiven for his silly handball that led to Fulham’s penalty.
Paulinho: 7
The Brazilian maintained possession-well and scored, but was guilty of failing to track back on a number of occasions. He was being played horribly out of position, in front of the back four, for match of the game though.
Nacer Chadli: 6
A quiet showing from Chadli, whose best position still remains unclear.
