Spurs half time ratings vs Fulham – Thank heavens for Harry

Tottenham head into the break against Marco Silva’s side currently 1-0 ahead courtesy of a Harry Kane strike.

Hugo Lloris: Called into action for the first time after nine minutes and pushed the ball to safety. Would be thankful that Reid’s shot ten minutes later was straight at him. 5.

Emerson Royal: Has to be warier of the pace of Robinson, the USA international has gone past him with ease. Had Spurs’ first shot on target after 35 minutes and looking to score in consecutive matches. 5.

Cristian Romero: Played a sloppy pass which saw Fulham win a free-kick outside the penalty area. 5.

Eric Dier: Needs to be stronger when up against Mitrovic, was easily bundled off the ball and conceded a free-kick. 5.

Ben Davies: Also guilty of not doing enough when up against Decordova-Reid. 5.

Ivan Perisic: Decordova-Reid’s pace has caused problems, needs to do more to stop him from crossing. 5.

Rodrigo Bentancur: Tried a one-man press early on and has looked to get involved at both ends of the pitch. Became guilty of also losing possession close to half time when Fulham raced forward and had a shot on goal. 6.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: Hacked down by Palhinha but managed to get back to his feet. Has played more than one sloppy pass to the feet of an opponent – looks a yard off the pace. 4.

Heung-min Son: Booked near the half-hour mark for a challenge on Tete. A player devoid of confidence and must be surely at risk of being replaced by Richarlison. 5.

Dejan Kulusevski: The best of the front three for the majority of the half. 6.

Harry Kane: A passenger for the first half hour, he had his first shot on goal after 32 minutes which sailed over the bar. Came to life on the cusp of half time with a classic finish to put Spurs ahead. Now level with Jimmmy Greaves on Spurs’ all-time top goalscorer list. 6.
