Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen scored the goals, either side of a Wilfried Bony strike.
Here’s how Mauricio Pochettino’s men rated in South Wales:
GK: Hugo Lloris – 7/10
Made an excellent double save to thwart Wilfried Bony, albeit after the Ivorian had been flagged for offside.
RB: Kyle Walker – 5.5/10
Walker made an awful start to the game, giving the ball away within the opening 10 seconds with a silly cross-field pass. He then got booked before the quarter-hour mark for foolishly grabbing the ball with his hand in the aim of getting a free-kick decision. He played on nervously with a yellow card hanging over his head for the full 90, steadily improving as the game went on.
LB: Ben Davies – 6.5/10
Looked sharp against his former club. He was very positive going forward and useful defensively too – making a stunning last-ditch tackle to stop Bony equalising in the first half.
CB: Federico Fazio – 4.5/10
Worryingly slow, both in the feet and in the brain. Looks a liability.
CB: Jan Vertonghen – 6.5/10
Did well against Bony, but picked up a needless yellow card for a clumsy lunge on Wayne Routledge.
CM: Ryan Mason 6.5/10
Was tidy in possession and tenacious without the ball. Replaced by Benjamin Stambouli on 69 minutes, after picking up a yellow for chopping down Leon Britton.
CM: Nabil Bentaleb – 7/10
Kept his composure throughout what was a very fiery game played in miserably wet conditions. Ulta confident, with the talent and strength to back it up.
AM: Erik Lamela – 4.5/10
Could have been sent off and cost his team dearly had the referee deemed that either of his first-half forearm smashes were deliberate. As it turned out, he stayed on the pitch until the 83rd minute, when Pochettino hooked him and brought on Nacer Chadli.
Harry Kane – 8/10
Opened the scoring with a glorious header in the fourth minute and then played a key role in winning back possession in the build-up to Eriksen’s winner. He was a menace all game long, with his power, skill and persistence. Almost scored a second goal on two occasions, but his crafty flick went just wide, before Gerhard Tremmel denied him one-on-one in the dying seconds.
Christian Eriksen – 7.5/10
Produced two moments of top quality that ultimately got his side three points. He delivered an excellent corner for Kane’s opener and then produced a great touch and finish to grab the winner himself.
Roberto Soldado – 5/10
Had a few nice touches, but was pretty anonymous during his 55 minutes on the pitch.
Subs:
Mousa Dembele – 6/10
Gave Spurs some much-needed muscle when Swansea were threatening to overrun them in midfield.
Benjamin Stambouli – 5.5/10
Slotted into the team with no fuss, despite only having 20 minutes of Premier League experience prior to today.
Nacer Chadli – n/a
Was not on the field for long enough to be judged.
