Tottenham Player Ratings vs Everton

Gomes (7) – A couple of good saves but dropped two crosses and was a mess for the Everton goal.

Corluka (7) – Mostly classy and skilful (and slow) as usual. Ably assisted Kranjcar going forward, poor (non existent) challenge at corner for Yakubu’s goal.

Bale (7) – Familiar enterprising stuff going forward, though quieter in the second half as we were pushed back.

Dawson (6) – Really struggled against Yakubu in the second half. Shocking distribution put us under pressure.

Bassong (7) – Did well during the second half given what was going on around him.

Modric (8) – All those in the middle who played lost possession far too often during the game, Luka though coped best with the close attentions of the Everton midfield and also scored a goal to remember.

Huddlestone (7) – Fine pass for the first goal and was using the ball skilfully until chopped down by Heitinga and carried off.

Palacios (7) – His non-stop running and tackling just about outweighed his casual and over confident passing.

Kranjcar (7) – Showed a lot of running and fight. Was often our best hope of a goal after the break.

Defoe (7) – Made one and nearly got on the end of a couple of Bale crosses.

Pavlyuchenko (7) – Pretty quiet but showed a true striker’s instinct for his goal.
