Tottenham player ratings vs Everton
Guglielmo Vicario –Started the half in good fashion, picking up from where he left off in midweek with a few strong stops. His blushes were spared by VAR after Everton’s goal from a corner was overturned for offside. 7.
Pedro Porro – Was called into defensive action quite early in the fixture when Jack Grealish met Iliman Ndiaye’s cross, but the Spurs full-back was on hand to make a vital block. He has also stood his ground when marking the Everton wide man. Porro later grabbed an assist from a corner, helping Spurs double their lead. 8.
Kevin Danso – Helped keep things tight at the back, dealing well with Everton’s threat in behind and from long balls. A solid display so far. 7.
Micky van de Ven – Opened the scoring from a corner after Rodrigo Bentancur’s attempted header found the Dutchman unmarked in the six-yard box for a free header, which he converted superbly. Was on target again from yet another corner, meeting Porro’s delivery to double Spurs’ advantage. 10.
Djed Spence – Ndiaye proved a handful for the Englishman early on, with the Senegalese forward creating a good chance from Spence’s flank, but Grealish failed to convert. Frank’s latest tweak has seen Spence hug the touchline when Tottenham are in possession, though the full-back has yet to create anything meaningful from that area. 6.
Rodrigo Bentancur – Frank has persisted with Bentancur, and the Uruguayan has certainly repaid the manager’s faith by grabbing an assist from the corner. The 28-year-old came close later in the half with a long-range effort destined for the top corner, only for it to drift wide. 8.
Joao Palhinha – Spurs did not concede in the first half and have handled the physicality of Everton’s midfield well, largely thanks to Palhinha in that holding role alongside Bentancur. Both have looked solid in the middle. 7.
Xavi Simons – The tactical tweaks continue, and in this fixture, Simons has operated more centrally when Spurs have possession, as Frank looks to get him more involved and boost Tottenham’s creativity. Has been casual at times, losing the ball in promising situations. 5.
Mohammed Kudus – There has been a tactical shift from Frank, with Kudus operating in the number ten position. The former West Ham man has seen plenty of the ball and worked hard tracking back when needed. He was involved in Tottenham’s opener with a wicked delivery from a corner. 7.
Randal Kolo Muani – A first start since his deadline day move, and he has linked up play well, combining neatly with those around him. Played in Simons after dropping deep with a lovely flick, but the midfielder’s poor decision in the final third prevented a threatening situation from developing. A solid display so far. 6.
Brennan Johnson – A quiet first forty-five from the Welshman, who has had little impact on proceedings so far, though he has put in a few crosses that Everton have dealt with. Johnson has also looked positive when driving at his man whenever the chance arises. 6.
