Tottenham registered their third consecutive away league win last night against Burnley.
It was a win that keeps Jose Mourinho’s side in the race for the Premier League in these early stages.
It was a hard-fought win and some players stood out, here are the Tottenham player ratings.
Hugo Lloris – 6
Not a busy night for him, but he saved well from Ashley Westwood when he was called into action.
Matt Doherty – 6
Didn’t always get picked out when he made his runs, but he tried to make himself an outlet for the team on the right and it was obvious that Mourinho instructed him to cross the ball at every opportunity and not try to take anyone on.
Toby Alderweireld – 7
Had a busy evening and he won most of the battles. Had to be bandaged because of a head injury, but didn’t drop his effort and made a couple of great tackles at crucial moments.
Eric Dier – 6
Did ok and dealt well with the threats and troubles of Ashley Barnes and Chris Woods.
Ben Davies – 6
Did his job against some tough opponents. He was a willing runner and created a few problems for the Clarets. His crossing is not great though.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 7
He made sure that Spurs won the midfield battle, protected the defence well and distributed the ball well when he had it. Solid shift.
Moussa Sissoko – 6
Back in the team and back with the same energy in midfield and supported Hojbjerg to make sure Spurs won the midfield battle.
Tanguy Ndombele – 7
He has completely turned his Tottenham career around. He was involved in almost everything good in Tottenham’s attacking play, solid performance.
Lucas Moura – 5
Not the best of days for him as he struggled to get into the game, no thanks to some fine defending from Burnley, but he could have done better.
Son Heung-min – 7
Burnley kept him quiet for much of the first half but took his only clear chance when it came his way to continue his fantastic scoring form.
Harry Kane – 8
Struggled to get a chance in the first half because of Burnley’s fine defending, but he defended what might have been Burnley’s opener and then set up Son for the winning goal. His overall contribution was immense and deservedly is the man of the match.
Substitute
Erik Lamela – 6
Caused more problems than Lucas Moura and set up Kane and Son for the winning goal.
Giovani Le Celso – 5
Didn’t have so much time to influence the game.
Joe Rodon – N/A
