ST – Emmanuel Adebayor – 8
This was the Adebayor of old as the striker that is often said to be lazy was full of running in this clash, setting up Chadli for the first with a low cross and bagging the fourth himself.
Substitutions:
Moussa Dembele – 6
Came on for Bentaleb with around 30 minutes remaining and although looked a little rusty, showed his class often enough to prove to Pochettino he will be key figure.
Harry Kane – 5
The youngster replaced Chadli but by then the damage had already been done and the forward was a little lost in attack.
Roberto Soldado – 5
Came on for Adebayor late on and offered little, with the Spaniard one of the few signings from last term that doesn’t look to be improving under the new boss.
Manager, Mauricio Pochettino – 9
Has introduced his aesthetically pleasing attacking style seamlessly to his new team and although West Ham United and the Rs are not the toughest opposition, things have certainly started positively.
