Defended well too.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Dawson-7- The ever reliable captain was everywhere. He marshaled the defence well.<\/p>\n<p>Jan Vertoghen- 7.5- A massive 97% passing accuracy.

Unfortunately Rose\u2019s hit and miss final delivery let him down on occasions, but his partnership with Chadli on the left shows promise.<\/p>\n<p>Moussa Dembele -5 &#8211; Disappointing display for a naturaly gifted player. Should have done more.<\/p>\n<p>Paulinho -8- Hard to rate Paulinho. He had a tremendous game, but could&#8217;ve scored 2 or three. If it weren&#8217;t for the misses, would&#8217;ve scored a 9.<\/p>\n<p>Andros Townsend -7- He played really well on midweek.And didn&#8217;t disappoint either in this match. Showed a lot of promise but somehow faded towards the end.<\/p>\n<p>Etienne Capoue -9 &#8211; His readings of the game, positioning, and recovering of the ball were all extremely impressive. He will be a massive hit in North London.<\/p>\n<p>Nacer Chadli -6.5-  Steady game. Rarely lost possession and linked play well. Was strong on the ball and NEVER neglected his defensive duties. <\/p>\n<p>Roberto Soldado \u2013 6 &#8211;  Quiet game for the Spaniard. Maybe its due to lack of service. But overall, an okay game.<\/p>\n<p>Subs<\/p>\n<p>Gylfi Sigurdsson \u2013 7 &#8211; Worked hard when he came on and was tidy in possession.<br \/>\nJermain Defoe -6- Never really a threat, maybe he needs more playing time<br \/>\nSandro -n\/a-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another 3 points for Spurs.
