Spurs finished the game with 10 men after Cristian Romero was shown a second yellow card for fouling Jack Grealish in the 87th minute but they held on – helping to boost the title hopes of rivals Arsenal.
Dan Kilpatrick was at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate the Spurs players…
Hugo Lloris 7
Saved comfortably from Rodri in the first half but did not have a major stop to make.
Cristian Romero 7
Can have no complaints about bookings for fouls on Erling Haaland and Grealish. The first lunge on the Norwegian was foolish. But he was excellent in between.
Eric Dier 9
Made a goal-saving block from Julian Alvarez in a brilliant defensive display.
Ben Davies 9
Nearly headed home from a corner and played his part in a hugely impressive rearguard.
Emerson Royal 9
Responded to fresh competition from Pedro Porro with a magnificent display at both ends. Won a great battle with Grealish.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 9
Made Kane’s goal by pressing Rico Lewis and was terrific between the boxes. So clever at winning fouls and breaking up the play.
Rodrigo Bentancur 8
Played most of the game on a booking but covered every blade of grass and used the ball well.
Ivan Perisic 6
Improved after his horror-show at the Etihad but a bit sloppy in possession and overhit a cross to Kane from a great position.
Dejan Kulusevski 8
A great outlet down the right and gave Lewis his toughest examination yet in the Premier League.
Heung-min Son 7
A much-improved display, particularly with the ball at his feet, suggesting his confidence and form is returning.
Harry Kane 8
Made history with his 267th Spurs goal and worked tirelessly as Spurs’ focal point.
Subs
Ryan Sessegnon (Perisic 78’) 7
Played his part defensively and broke forward well for one counter.
Yves Bissouma (Son 84’) 7
Helped to see out the game.
Davinson Sanchez (Kulusevski 87’) N/A
Stood tall for final three minutes plus stoppages.
Not used: Forster, Skipp, Richarlison, Danjuma, Porro, Lenglet.
