Here are the Spurs player ratings…
GK) Hugo Lloris, 8
The Frenchman kept the North Londoners in the game with a string of impressive saves.
RB) Kyle Walker, 7
A series of buccaneering runs in to the Gunners’ half were the highlights for the England international.
LB) Danny Rose, 7
Similar performance to Walker, keeping the Arsenal defence pinned back.
CB) Eric Dier, 6
A solid performance without having too much to do throughout the match.
CB) Jan Vertonghen, 6
Same again, no mistakes but didn’t have a huge amount to do.
CM) Nabil Bentaleb, 8
The Algerian was important in the Whites’ pressing game, never letting the Gunners take control of midfield.
CM) Ryan Mason, 7
Also vital to stopping Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey from flourishing in the middle of the park.
CAM) Moussa Dembele, 6
Didn’t add enough going forward, but was still a solid performer in a win that will be remembered for years.
LM) Christian Eriksen, 7
The Dane’s creativity was once again important in Spurs’ attacking play.
RM) Eric Lamela, 5
Another performance that flattered to deceive.
ST) Harry Kane, 10
The striker has written himself in to the Spurs history books with his brace against their fierce rivals.
SUB) Nacer Chadli, 7
On for Dembele after 75 minutes, and allowed Eriksen to play more centrally for the final 15.
SUB) Benjamin Stambouli, 6
Didn’t have enough time to make an impact after coming on in injury time
SUB) Paulinho, 6
Also subbed in the dying seconds, and was just brought on to waste time.
