Christian Eriksen-6.5

Eriksen showed a good amount of energy in this match, but he couldn’t make anything happen for his team’s attack. Every ball seemed to be a little off from the Danish metronome.

The positive news is that he didn’t let his inability to create quality scoring chances change the way he competed in the midfield. Eriksen is never going to be a physical powerhouse, but he really worked hard for the full 90 minutes. If this is his baseline performance, Spurs will be very pleased.

Dele Alli-7.5

It’s time for supporters to recognize the strides Dele has made over the last 12 months or so. When he first broke into the side, he was arguably the club’s most selfish player. He is still very aggressive, but he now creates a lot of opportunities for his teammates.

In this match, he gave his defenders a tremendous outlet. Dele did a great job of holding the ball up for his teammates. That gave Kane room to operate and his defenders a place to pass in times of trouble. He didn’t get an assist in this match, but he was unlucky in that regard. Dele will have matches with more highlights, but this was a really solid shift for him.

Harry Winks-Inc.

It was good to see Winks back on the pitch, but he came in the match far too late to have any real impact. He gives Spurs something different in the middle of the pitch, but he wasn’t able to show it versus Fulham.
