Tottenham full-time player ratings vs PSG
Guglielmo Vicario – The Italian has conceded nine goals in his last two games, and that is never a good look for Frank and his side. There was little he could do about any of the goals tonight. 5
Pedro Porro – Gave away a needless corner kick, which led to Paris Saint-Germain’s fourth. Once again, it stemmed from Cristian Romero being sloppy in possession and putting his team-mate under pressure. 4
Cristian Romero – After a somewhat decent first-half performance from the Tottenham captain, Romero undid all of that work by presenting Paris Saint-Germain with an early Christmas gift. His sloppy pass to Pape Sarr invited pressure and allowed the visitors to score their third and take the lead. His loose passing continued, putting Porro under pressure and resulting in the needless corner that produced the fourth. The errors kept coming, with the Argentine giving away a penalty after a handball. 2
Micky van de Ven – Offered very little in this game, with Tottenham’s defending leaving nothing to write home about. He failed to close anyone down, and his pace offered no real value, as most of the damage came from distance or set pieces. 4
Djed Spence – Looked to offer some attacking threat with a few forward bursts, but there was no end product. Paris Saint-Germain offered little threat out wide, with most of their danger coming through the centre. 4
Rodrigo Bentancur – Far from an inspiring performance from the Uruguayan. The early warning signs were there when Vitinha scored from range in the first half. In the second half, he and his midfield partner allowed a very similar goal. Bentancur was even seen avoiding the striker’s effort for Vitinha’s second. Put your body on the line. He did, however, pinch the ball from Vitinha in midfield, which led to Randal Kolo Muani’s second of the night. 4.5
Pape Sarr – There is an argument to be made over whether he should have taken an extra touch when Romero played him the ball while building from the back. Regardless, it was not a strong performance, as he allowed Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha far too much space in the centre of the pitch. 4
Lucas Bergvall – He was electric in the first half, but his influence faded as the game wore on. His standout moment remained his neat link-up with Archie Gray, which created the opening goal. 6
Archie Gray – The teenager delivered a display he can be proud of. He was involved in both goals, linking up with Bergvall for the opener before producing a fine cross to the back post. He reacted quickest to Richarlison’s header from the corner, and although his own effort was deflected onto the crossbar, Muani converted the rebound. 8
Randal Kolo Muani – The on-loan Paris Saint-Germain forward scored his first Tottenham goal against his parent club, volleying into an empty net after a well-worked corner routine. He added a lovely second, combining skill and fortune to glide past Parisian defenders before finishing calmly. A brilliant display that included an assist for Richarlison’s opener. 9
Richarlison – Took his goal well in the first half but was largely non-existent afterwards, with very little service coming his way. 5
