Spurs Match Zone

NLD derby: Player Ratings

|

Tottenham’s dismal display at the Emirates this afternoon has little positives to reflect on.

Hugo Lloris – 5 

Despite an overall decent performance from the Frenchman, Lloris’ huge error for the second goal changed the game and swung the momentum back towards the home side.

Emerson Royal – 2 

What can you say about Emerson? To put it kindly, the Brazilian simply isn’t good enough for this level.

Christian Romero – 5

I don’t think I am the first fan to think since recovering from his injury, Romero has not been the same player. Hopefully the Argentian can get back to his pre-injury levels – because when Romero is at his best, Spurs usually win.

Eric Dier – 5

Typical Dier performance – blocks, interceptions and tackles galore. However, the third goal was arguably down to him.

Clement Lenglet – 5

Calm and assured on the ball but struggled against the electric Saka today.

Ivan Perisic – 4

This was the Croatian’s worst performance in a Spurs shirt. Lack of quality in the final third – which usually isn’t the case – and defensively exposed by Saka.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 7

Simply the best Spurs player on the pitch this afternoon. Despite being constantly outnumbered by the Arsenal midfield, Hojbjerg managed to harass and stop a lot of the dangerous Arsenal attacks.

Rodrigo Bentancur – 6

A close second to being the best spurs player on the pitch. Bentancur, as always, retained the ball well and kickstarted attacks.

Richarlison – 5 

Despite winning the penalty for the Lilywhites it was a frustrating afternoon for the ex-Everton man, who constantly harried and harassed the Arsenal team but could not really get himself into the game.

Harry Kane – 5

Converted his penalty calmly – as always – but could not get the better of William Saliba, who was fantastic for the home side.

Heung-min Son – 5

The South Korean got into some good positions and pressed well – but his final ball was woeful today.

Subs:

Yves Bissouma – 5

Matt Doherty – 5 

Davinson Sanchez – 5

Ryan Sessegnon – 5

Oliver Skipp – 5
