Tottenham Player Ratings from Bournemouth Blowout

3 of 3

Heung-Min Son – 8.5

Son was the best player on the pitch for much of the match. His power and pace were too much for Bournemouth, especially when matched up on the edges against the Cherry center-halves. Son added 4th goal in 2 games and continues to come on after a slow start to the season. The ability to get behind and down the lines makes Son a dynamic presence in the Spurs attack, who will be greatly missed in January as he goes back to serve more national team duty for South Korea, which is way better than joining the military for two years! Let’s hope this form continues.

Harry Kane – 7.5

Harry Kane bagged his goal yesterday, taking his total to 12 in the League for the season. Kane had a terrific left-footed volley finish on a nice little chip from Christian Eriksen. Beyond that Kane had a couple of shots and some decent distribution on some cross field passes but wasn’t at his best on the day. It was a bit disappointing to see Kane run and grab the ball for the free kick he hit right at Begovic, but alas, when up by 4 goals, it is not as big of a deal.

Fernando Llorente – N/A

Bonus – Manager

Mauricio Pochettino – 9

Pochettino must be the highest rated on the day, as he set his team up for success from the opening whistle and did a great job bringing on some fresh legs and getting some folks some rest. It was good to see Oliver Skipp come on once again, this time for Harry Kane, giving our talisman some much needed rest. Bringing on Davies for Eriksen and Llorente for Son was nice too. Spurs seem to be clicking at just the right time and I think a lot of that success comes from the gaffer.

dark. Next. Tottenham rout Bournemouth 5-0
