Tottenham
Hugo Lloris
A quiet game for the French World Cup Winner who had little to do. Not at fault for the goal but some of his distribution was poor.
Rating: 6
Kieran Trippier
At fault for the goal and given a torrid time during the game by Sterling.
Rating: 5
Davison Sanchez
Solid and quick to step up and counter any threat. Held his position well and successfully read a number of slick City passes.
Rating: 7
Toby Aderweireld
A less showy performance but looks a comfortable player capable of playing at a higher level.
Rating: 6
Ben Davies
Booked for a dreadful challenge on De Bruyne and lost Mahrez on a number of occasions.
Rating: 5
Eric Dier
Made a series of poorly timed challenges but somehow seemed immune to sanction by the referee. All arms and pushing. Off the pace throughout.
Rating: 5
Ousmane Dembele
Solid performance, held his position well.
Rating: 6
Moussa Sissoko
Energetic performance and looked Spurs most dangerous player when he punctured the City defensive lines.
Rating: 8
Eric Lamela
Gritty and niggly performance which upset Mendy and others. Pleased to see him mis hit his one opportunity to level the match.
Rating: 6
Lucas Moura
Determined running but needless diving marred his game.
Rating: 5
Harry Kane
Well contained by the City defence. Willing runner but made no real contribution.
Rating: 5

Ederson
Another assured performance. Good distribution and made a vital save from Harry Kane.
Rating: 8
Kyle Walker
Eager to impress but wayward passing and positioning undermined some of our play.
Rating: 6
John Stones
Another solid performance on a difficult pitch.
Rating: 7
Aymeric Laporte
Beginning to look like a fantastic Centre Back. Great distribution. Unfairly yellow carded.
Rating: 7
Benjamin Mendy
Poor by his own high standards. Gave the ball away too often, Caught out of position and petulant.
Rating: 4
Fernandinho
Exactly the kind of solid performance we needed today. Took one for the team with his yellow card and mopped up all threats.
Rating: 8
David Silva
Industrious performance but struggled to find the right pass. Had the opportunity to make the game safe but couldn’t wrap his foot around the ball.
Rating: 7
Bernardo Silva
Busy and pressed well but struggled on the pitch with the ball.
Rating: 6
Riyad Mahrez
Clever performance to occupy the Spurs side and he took his goal well. Looking more and more comfortable in our team.
Rating: 8
Raheem Sterling
Did well for the goal and caused difficulties for Trippier, but his final touch eluded him on occasion.
Rating: 7
Sergio Aguero
Had a couple of opportunities which he did not take, laboured throughout.
Rating: 6

Limited impact from De Bruyne today who struggled to master the pitch and the pace.

Too little time on the pitch to mark.

Too little time on the pitch to mark.
