Tottenham Hotspur faced their first game without deadly duo Harry Kane and Heung Min Son yesterday evening as they took on Fulham at Craven Cottage.
It is fair to say that the majority of the Spurs team failed to step up in the absence of their two biggest goal scorers, as they barely clutched a last-minute winner against the struggling Prem side.
Fernando Llorente, brought in to replace the goals from Kane and Son instead turned one into his own net.
Erik Lamela was awful on the ball and added no sense of attacking threat, and Christian Eriksen was limited to a deeper midfield role.
The Spurs defence was also shaky at best against a side fighting a relegation battle.
However, there were two stand out Tottenham stars who lifted their side to victory in Danny Rose and Harry Winks.
Each of them covered every blade of grass on the pitch, and were constant threats in both an attacking and defensive role.
Check out their stats below!
