Tottenham Hotspur player ratings in 5-0 win over Norwich

Forwards and Subs
Dejan Kulusevski 10/10
Dejan rolled off his sick bed to put in yet another outstanding performance. Thanks to an unselfish and astute pass by Bentancur, Kulusevski passed into a gaping net to score his fourth top flight goal. At the moment, he offers as much going forward as his two superstar colleagues. Kulu set Hojbjerg up on a platter in the opening minutes, a chance the midfielder skied over the goal.
Strangely Kulu was unable to sort out his feet with a gaping cage in the second half, eventually scuffing his attempted finish. Nobody will hold that against him, though, especially after making up for it minutes later, smashing an arrow into the side netting for Spurs’ third.
Everyone is already looking forward to seeing what the 23-year-old can accomplish in a full season with Spurs, one that includes Champions League football.
Harry Kane 9/10
Harry Kane scored a poachers goal off a catastrophic Tim Krul giveaway and was otherwise steady throughout. He did exactly what was required of him to get Spurs into the Champions League. He found Sonny on multiple occasions. No surprise there.
One of his first-time crosses begged to be smashed home, only for Sonny’s resultant half volley to be saved by Krul. Kane also pinged a pinpoint pass to Kulu, who scored seconds later.
Son Heung-min 10/10
Sonny had loads of chances to increase his already impressive goal tally, and made no mistake in doing so. Krul made a few strong saves on Sonny, but the Korean’s perseverance paid off with a solid finish.
He thought he won the Golden Boot outright on a sublime right-footed cracker, but was pegged back by a late Salah goal at Anfield. Still, to come back and equal the Egyptian’s total is a sensational accomplishment.
Lucas Moura 8/10
Lucas Moura made a deft pass to set up Sonny’s goal. Great to see him get a well-deserved assist on Sonny’s 22nd of the campaign.
