Harry Kane-6.5

Kane gets credit for scoring a crucial goal for his team, but he also missed a golden opportunity to steal all three points in extra time. Overall it was a pretty average performance for Europe’s best striker.

He too, was hurt by his midfielder’s laughable display. Time and time against Kane was forced to drop into his own half to receive the ball. He simply isn’t fast enough to do that and run back to trouble the back line in a quick fashion. When he’s forced to drop deep, it’s a sure sign that Spurs attack is struggling.

Michel Vorm-7

Tottenham may have missed Lloris’ mental impact on the match, but Vorm played perfectly fine as his replacement. If not for Sanchez’s own goal he could have easily come away with a well-deserved clean sheet.

Vorm wasn’t forced to make any miraculous saves, but he did well to handle the ball well in such wet conditions. He could have easily spilled a costly rebound on several occasions. Instead he held the ball tight and kept the Saints’ attack at bay.
