Harry Kane-8.5

Kane may not have caught Mohamed Salah to keep the Golden Boot, but he was excellent in this match. He scored two class goals that helped Tottenham keep Liverpool down in fourth place.

His sumptuous finish in the second half should have announced to everyone that he’s plenty fit enough to lead England this summer in the World Cup. He faked Choudhury out of his cleats with a clever dummy and then buried a curler in the back of the net. It was a classy goal from the best pure striker in the Premier League.

Hugo Lloris-8

It may seem odd to give high marks to a keeper who conceded four goals on the afternoon, but Lloris didn’t have a chance to stop three of Leicester’s successful strikes. The other he might have gotten with a stellar stop, but it was far from routine.

In the second half, he made one great save and one great clearance to keep Leicester’s attack at bay. Fans who didn’t watch this match won’t understand just how good the French keeper was. It was one of Lloris’ best performances of the season.
