Tottenham Hotspur suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of Manchester United as Pochettinho’s men were outdone by a disciplined Jose Mourinho side. The game ended 1-0 in favour of the Red Devils and the Lilywhites did very little to trouble the United defence and David De Gea.
Here are the Spurs players ratings vs Manchester United:
Hugo Lloris: 6.5/10
Could have done very little about the goal but looked quite rattled throughout the game. Fumbled one Mkhitaryan shot throughout which United could have easily taken the lead.
Eric Dier: 6/10
Started ahead of Sanchez and was the main culprit for the buildup towards the goal.
Vertonghen: 7.5/10
Was good throughout the match.
Alderweireld: 6/10
Was good for most of the game was was could napping as Martial made the run behind him which eventually let to the goal.
Aurier: 6.5/10
Had a great duel with Ashley Young on the flank but did not do much while going forward.
Harry Winks: 6.5/10
Was a decent enough game for the youngster.
Sissoko: 5/10
Lacked the flare that was needed to cut open the United defence.
Ben Davies: 7/10
Made one fine clearance to deny Rashford a tap-in from Mkhitaryan’s shot.
Christian Eriksen: 6.5/10
Was kept quiet for most of the game but came up with a brilliant bit of magic but Dele Alli failed to convert from the pass.
Dele Alli: 6/10
Had one golden opportunity when he lost his marker but put toe-poked the ball wide of the post.
Heung-Min: 5/10
Was deployed as the striker in the absence of Harry Kane and he did a lot of running throughout the pitch. But that was about it.
Substitutes:
Llorente: 7/10
Won a few duel with United’s defence after coming on but did not do anything flashy.
Dembele: 6/10
No major contributions.
