PLAYER RATINGS: Fiorentina 2-0 Tottenham

Hugo Lloris – He was not tested for most of the game. He did not make any errors from Fiorentina’s couple of weak shots. He could have done nothing with the two goals the Italians scored.

Vlad Chiriches – He was the best of the bad bunch as he was not afraid to attack the Fiorentina back line. He did not make important defensive mistakes and ended the match in his natural centre-back position.

Ben Davies – He was sound defensively but Salah’s pace proved too much for him at times. He joined the attacks often and provided width for the team.

Federico Fazio – He was terrible all night long as he made a mess of even simplest balls. He capped off his bad night with an inexplicable giveaway that led to Mario Gomez’s goal.

Jan Vertonghen – The Belgian showed signs of mental and physical fatigue tonight. Salah and Gomez caused problems and he gifted the Egyptian a goal out of nothing.

Benjamin Stambouli– The Frenchman did not make any mistakes but he did not provide anything to note either. A sound performance but left a lot to desire.

Christian Eriksen – His drop of form continued as he couldn’t open the Viola’s defence tonight even though he played in his favourite position. His passes weren’t there and he did not show any creativity.

Nabil Bentaleb – The Algerian was another player who look fatigued as he started the game well with his usual commanding of the midfield but wore down after the first half.

Nacer Chadli – The Belgian started the game on the left tonight but showed no desire to attack the opposition full back and played too safe in the attacking third.

Erik Lamela – He started really well with some good touches and provided a great through ball to Soldado that should have been the opening goal but he disappeared in the second half as well.

Roberto Soldado – A terrible night for the Spaniard as he wasted one of the easiest chances of his career. He did not help his case at all in the game with bad touches and passes.

Subs

Harry Kane – He came on in the 60th minute to score a goal for Spurs but failed to open the opposition defence.

Andros Townsend – He couldn’t replicate his performance in the first leg and did not attack the opposition full-back.

Kyle Walker– He made a cameo appearance.
