How did their players fare on the night?

GK) Michel Vorm, 4

The Dutchman doesn’t look to have recovered from his howler against Leicester City on the weekend and looked shaky throughout. He did make a few good late saves to keep Spurs in it though.

RB) Kyle Walker, 5 

The right-back was okay going forward, but is another who didn’t look reliable at the back.

LB) Ben Davies, 4

Both of Sheffield United’s goals came from crosses, and the full-backs should have done more to stop them.

CB) Eric Dier, 5

When a League 1 side score twice against you it really isn’t good enough, but at least the 21-year-old has the excuse of youth.

CB) Jan Vertonghen, 3

Here is a player that can’t use his age as an excuse, and the Belgian should be very disappointed in his performance.

CM) Benjamin Stambouli, 5

The Frenchman was part of a midfield that was overrun at times by their lesser opponents, and  didn’t offer too much going forward.

CM) Lee Mason, 4

Back in the side after missing out against Leicester City, and should have done far more to control the game when the Blades came back at them.

CAM) Moussa Dembele, 6

Didn’t do anything wrong, but also didn’t look like making a difference in the match.

LM) Christian Eriksen, 9

An amazing free kick as well as scoring the goal that spared his team’s blushes means that this was a night to remember for the Dane.

RM) Eric Lamela, 5

The 22-year-old needs to become a lot more reliable if he wants to ever make mark outside of YouTube clips.

ST) Harry Kane, 7

The Englishman put himself about and ran everything down to put pressure on the Blades when he could.

SUB) Paulinho, 4

Came on to help Spurs see the game out in the 66th minute, but ended up being on the pitch when Sheffield got back in to the match.

 

SUB) Andros Townsend, 5

Didn’t really add anything after coming on in the 74th minute.

SUB) Danny Rose, 5

Had no time to make an impact when he was brought on after 91 minutes.
