Player Ratings

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

Substitutes

Harry Winks

Looked comfortable in midfield and distributed the ball well under pressure.

Rating 7

Dele Alli

Limited impact from a player returning from injury.

Rating 6

Christian Eriksen

Limited impact from a player returning from injury. Had a couple of shots but lacked composure.

Rating 6

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

Substitutes

Kevin de Bruyne

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

Too little time on the pitch to mark.

Gabriel Jesus

Too little time on the pitch to mark.
