Heung-Min Son-6

Son was the rare Tottenham star who didn’t really enjoy himself in this match. He did a good job threatening the Swansea defense by playing on their back shoulder, but he couldn’t really make anything happen.

Per usual, my biggest issue with Son playing as a lone striker is the lack of pressure he puts on the opposition when they have the ball. A very underrated part of Harry Kane’s game is his ability to really press the opposition. Son would do well to emulate his English teammate in that regard.

Michel Vorm-8.5

The former Swansea keeper didn’t have a ton of action against his old club, but he did everything he needed to keep a clean sheet. Specifically, he denied Tammy Abraham from close range to open the second half with two terrific saves.

Other than that, the Dutch keeper was pretty bored. I thought he should have come forward more forcefully for a couple of crosses into the box, but that’s nitpicking his performance. It was an excellent match from a quality backup keeper.
