Tottenham Hotspur extended their winning run to four games away from home in the Premier League after securing a 1-0 victory over West Brom. The Lilywhites weren’t at their best, but were rewarded for their defensive solidity and overall control in the proceedings as Harry Kane’s late goal proved to be the main difference between the two sides.
Tottenham Hotspur Player Ratings Vs West Brom
Hugo Lloris 7/10
Made an outstanding save in the second half to deny Darnell Furlong from scoring. Stepped up to the plate when needed and managed to preserve a well-deserved clean sheet.
Matt Doherty 7/10
Matt Doherty might not have been overly impressive on the right flank, but it was his brilliant cross that led to Kane’s winner late in the game.
Toby Alderweireld 7.5/10
Toby Alderweireld played a key role in the build-up play, notably providing some useful diagonal balls from the back. Yet another solid display from the Belgian international.
Eric Dier 7/10
Eric Dier was fairly solid for the most part of the game, with his physical and aerial prowess playing a vital role in helping Tottenham preserving the clean sheet. Had one chance to score in the first half.
Sergio Reguilon 8/10
Sergio Reguilon was a livewire down the left-hand side, often making darting runs into the defence and providing offensive support to his teammates. Most of his crosses led to crucial chances, and the Spaniard will feel unlucky to have missed out on an assist.
Moussa Sissoko 7/10
Moussa Sissoko surprisingly impressed the onlookers with a few of his offensive runs, notably creating the opportunity for Son Heung-Min during the first-half. Taken off late in the game.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 7/10
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg remained solid in midfield, making a couple of his signature interceptions and controlling things in the middle of the park.
Gareth Bale 7/10
Gareth Bale worked hard, and his combination play with the likes of Harry Kane and Son looked promising at times. However, it wasn’t enough to make a difference, though the Welshman is slowly getting back to his best.
Tanguy Ndombele 7/10
Tanguy Ndombele looked quite promising with the ball at his feet, showing top-class quality in terms of ball-retention. Also created some chances but was inconsistent as far as his involvement in the game was concerned. Picked up a knock that forced him to come off.
Son Heung-Min 6.5/10
It was not the best of performances from Son Heung-Min, who had the best chance of the game in the first half but failed to find the back of the net. The South Korean international was involved in the game but lacked the sharpness that has been quite evident this season.
Harry Kane 8/10
It was yet another masterful display from Harry Kane who played a key role in Son’s opportunity in the first half. The Englishman also combined well with his teammates and kept working hard despite finding very little scoring opportunities. He was rewarded for his efforts with a late goal, in what turned out to be his 150th Premier League goal.
SUBSTITUTES
Giovani Lo Celso 6/10
Offered a little bit of spark and dynamism in the final third after coming on for Ndombele. But nothing exceptional.
Lucas Moura 6/10
Couldn’t make too much of a difference after replacing Sissoko during the final phase of the game.
Carlos Vinicius 6.5/10
Almost found the back of the net with an excellent strike, but it was saved by the goalkeeper.
