Tanganga Gets 5, Davies With 5.5 | Tottenham Hotspur Players Rated In Derby Defeat Vs Chelsea

Last updated on: January 5, 2022

Tottenham Hotspur locked horns with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a result in the first leg of their EFL Cup semifinal tie. Spurs made a poor start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the fifth minute when Kai Havertz capitalised on a mistake from Japhet Tanganga and scored from close range. Ben Davies netted an unfortunate own goal in the 34th minute which left Antonio Conte’s men with a mountain to climb in the second half.

Spurs failed to come up with a response in the second 45 minutes and crashed to a 2-0 derby defeat at West London.

Let’s take a look at how each Tottenham player performed during the contest against the Blues.

GK: Hugo Lloris – 7/10

The French keeper made a few decent saves to keep the scoreline down. However, he won’t be happy after conceding two goals in the first half.

CB: Japhet Tanganga – 5/10

He was at fault for both of Chelsea’s goals tonight. It was an error-prone display from him tonight.

CB: Davinson Sanchez – 7/10

Sanchez earned the ball back a couple of times and didn’t shy away from putting his foot through the ball when needed.

CB: Ben Davies – 5.5/10

The Welsh talent made a couple of solid tackles but will be disappointed after scoring an own goal in the 34th minute.

RM: Emerson Royal – 6.5/10

He did his fair share of defending and made one good chance in the final third.

CM: Oliver Skipp – 6/10

Skipp struggled to get a foothold in the game and got substituted in the second half.

CM: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg – 6.5/10

He tried to make life difficult for the opposition and managed to secure the ball back a couple of times for his side.

LM: Matt Doherty – 6/10

Doherty made two important clearances in the first half but was taken off at half-time.

RW: Lucas Moura – 6.5/10

He showed a few flashes of promise but never looked like he had a goal in him.

ST: Harry Kane – 6/10

The English centre-forward struggled to get into the flow of the game and produced a toothless display in the final third.

LW: Heung-min Son – 6/10

Son completed one dribble during the game but didn’t get a sniff at goal.

Substitutes:

CM: Tanguy Ndombele – 6/10

He added some energy to the Tottenham midfield in the second half.

CM: Harry Winks – 6/10

Winks struggled to influence the game.

CM: Giovani Lo Celso – 6/10

He made one key chance in the Chelsea half.

LW: Bryan Gil – 6/10

Gil had a couple of bright moments in the game.
