Here’s how we rated the Spurs players following the opening forty-five minutes of action in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium
Ange Postecoglou’s side head into the break currently 2-1 behind after the North Londoners had earlier taken the lead through Heung-min Son.
Guglielmo Vicario: City have been trying to put the Italian under pressure from their countless corner kicks, could do little for either goal. 6.
Pedro Porro: Has done well in dealing with the threat of Doku down the right. At times you have to sympathise with the Spaniard’s positioning. 7.
Emerson Royal: Gifted City the ball in a dangerous area and uncharacteristically Haaland pulled his shot wide. Struggling in the centre half role. 6.

Ben Davies: Got turned inside out by Doku, thankfully the shot came back off the bar. Decided to drop deeper when the rest of the Spurs defence kept their line on the edge of the box for Foden’s goal. 5.
Destiny Udogie: A rash challenge on Foden saw him pick up his fourth booking of the season. 5.
Yves Bissouma: Recalled following his one-match ban. Lost the ball in his own half just after the half hour mark which should have seen Haaland add a third. 5.
Giovani Lo Celso: Needs to do far more to help out the rest of his midfield. 5.
Bryan Gil: Did brilliantly well to set the counter attack away for Son’s opener. Should have looked to have released the captain just prior to the haf hour mark with an earlier pass that could have created a good chance on goal. 6.
Dejan Kulusevski: Has done really well in his central role and has given Rodri problems. 7.
Heung-min Son: A brilliant run from the South Korean saw him outmuscle Doku and finish neatly beyond Ederson. Scored at both ends inside ten minutes when City’s cross came off his thigh. 6.
Brennan Johnson: His pace is a threat to the City defence, however, with Spurs having their backs to the wall it just hasn’t been an option. 6.
