Forwards and Subs
Harry Kane 8/10
Harry Kane scored the all-important opener off a corner kick in the first half thanks to a superb Sonny assist. Aside from the goal, Kane picked out some telling passes and had a strong bounce-back performance.
Son Heung-min 10/10
What a performance from Spurs’ talismanic forward. Sonny was outstanding throughout, which was apparent from kickoff. His second goal and Tottenham’s third was one of the goals of the season. He struck the ball nonchalantly, yet so majestically from another area code, swerving it perfectly with his left foot inside the far post. The strike was so stunning that Hojbjerg couldn’t quite believe it happened. The Dane held his head in disbelief as he watched it fly into the top corner.
Lucas Moura 5/10
Lucas endured a difficult outing and struggled to come to terms with a rare chance in the starting team. He made a few swift moves early but had difficulties thereafter. It looked like his confidence isn’t quite where it needs to be, which makes sense after losing his spot to Dejan Kulusevski.
Dejan Kulusevski 9/10
The Swede came on and made an immediate impact, assisting on Sonny’s first. He was lively, strong and bullish, things we’ve come to expect. He also made the intelligent pass to Sonny on his wonder goal. What a cameo!
Steven Bergwijn N/A
Probably should have moved a bit quicker to close down Iheanacho’s space on Leicester’s lone goal.
