Lamela and Lo Celso silver linings for Tottenham: Player ratings vs Leipzig
By Gary Pearson
Defence
Hugo Lloris 9/10
Held his side in the match, making countless important saves. He was spry and acrobatic, showing why he’s one of the best shot stoppers in world football.
Serge Aurier 6/10
Serge was pretty steady and thwarted many Leipzig attacks. He made one good low cross in the second half that was almost deflected home. Otherwise, he had a middling performance, average in most capacities.
Davinson Sanchez 7/10
The Colombian faced heaps of pressure relentlessly for the first 65 minutes. He withstood the pressure well most of the time and had a few erratic moments we’ve become accustomed to. Though it was one of his best performances for some time.
Toby Alderweireld 7/10
Immersed in the trenches, Toby had as good of a match as his Colombian partner. They both held up well under extreme duress. Neither were at fault for Leipzig’s only goal.
Ben Davies 3/10
His lack of match time was evident, as Ben Davies horribly mistimed his challenge on Konrad Laimer, bundling into the Austrian to concede the penalty. It’s a mistake he’ll rue and won’t soon forget. Unfortunately it’s the single move that headlined his evening.
