<b>TOTTENHAM...</b><br/>
<b>Hugo Lloris:</b> One second-half fumble aside, his handling and positioning were solid and he could do little about the goal. <b>7/10</b>
<br/>
<b>Kyle Walker:</b> Kept busy throughout and was rarely able to attack as a consequence, but he stuck to his task with diligence. <b>6</b>
<br/>
<b>Michael Dawson: </b>His passing is not always as smart as it could be but there are few more determined centre-backs. <b>7</b>
<br/>
<b>Jan Vertonghen (pictured):</b> Outstanding display. Strong in the tackle, calm in possession and made several decisive interventions. <b>9</b>
<br/>
<b>Benoit Assou-Ekotto:</b> Generally able to keep Walcott quiet. One cross should have resulted in a goal for Bale. <b>7</b>
