Mauricio Pochettino-7

Much of the pre match conversation centred around the question of whether or not Pochettino would try to rest some stars in advance of this week’s match at Real Madrid. In the end he chose not to, and it proved to be the right call. He needed a full shift from Eriksen to garner the three points Spurs had to have.

Moussa Sissoko-6.5

Sissoko didn’t exactly change the match when he came on for Son, but he did give his club a real boost. His late arriving runs from the midfield caused Bournemouth real problems. The Frenchman continues to play better and better for Pochettino.

Fernando Llorente-5.5

The Spaniard was hoping to get more playing time in this match, but his teammates could score enough to get him an earlier appearance. As it stands, he didn’t really have an opportunity to influence the match in his brief cameo.

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou-6

He was only on the field for a moment, but it’s hard to say he didn’t have a real impact. He used his speed to force Asmir Begovic into a dangerous foul in the match’s closing moments. That’s exactly what Pochettino inserted him into the lineup to do. Credit N’Koudou for doing his job.
