Tottenham put that defeat against Antwerp firmly behind them tonight, beating Ludogorets 3-1 in Bulgaria in their third group stage game.
Let’s take a look at how the players got on:
Joe Hart – 5 – Had little more to do than bark his usual orders. No chance with the goal.
Ben Davies – 5 – Sloppy on the ball at times but put in a decent shift.
Eric Dier – 5 – Had very little to do apart from winning uncontested headers. A couple of dodgy moments on the ball but hard to do anything about the goal itself.
Toby Alderweireld – 5.5 – Similar to Eric Dier but a bit better on the ball.
Matt Doherty – 5.5 – Had a good chance to score in the first half and seems to be slowly growing into his new right-back role.
Harry Winks – 4.5 – Looks as though Winks just needs to strip his game back to the basics. Keep the ball, occupy the space, and block the passing lanes. Learn from Hojbjerg.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Moussa Sissoko – 5 – A steady first half for Sissoko. Nothing great and nothing bad.
Giovani Lo Celso – 7 – Nice to see him starting again. You can still see that he is lacking full fitness, but he showed a few glimpses of his creative ability and tenacity. Nice goal too.
Lucas Moura – 6 – Looked very lively and remains a great option to filter in and out of the starting line-up. Always lacks the consistent end product, but a great squad player.
Harry Kane – 6 – Decent run out for the main man. He got his goal, although it could have been four or five if he’d had his shooting boots on tonight.
Gareth Bale – 7 – Definitely seeing improvements game by game from Bale. Got some good minutes under his belt and made plenty of chances.
Substitutes:
Carlos Vinicius – 4.5 – Not his best tonight. Needs to get himself in the box more and press a bit higher, but I’m sure that will come with time.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 7 – Just looks top class whenever he plays. Came on and instantly ran the show from the centre of midfield.
Heung-min Son – 6.5 – 17 seconds after coming on, Son claimed an assist. Just class.
Steven Bergwijn – 6.5 – Looked really bright and up for it after coming on. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet but did his reputation no harm.
Tanguy Ndombele – 5.5 – Came on to get some more minutes under his belt and looked bright on the ball.
