Here are the player ratings for Tottenham’s 2-1 win over QPR:
GK) Hugo Lloris – 6.5
Saved his side a number of times, with Kyle Walker particularly grateful when Lloris denied Charlie Austin after a shocking back pass.
RB) Kyle Walker – 5.5
Solid going forward, and put a few good crosses in. His defending was poor for the most part however, and he almost gifted Austin a goal.
CB) Eric Dier – 6.5
A decent performance in the centre of defence, but struggled against the physicality of Bobby Zamora.
CB) Jan Vertonghen – 6.5
A shaky showing from the Belgian, and Spurs would have been punished if they were facing a better team.
LB) Ben Davies – 7.0
Didn’t get forward as much as Walker, but was far more solid defensively and far less wasteful in possession.
DM) Nabil Bentaleb – 7.5
Hugely important for his side, as QPR were aggressive in midfield. He retained possession well, and provided a platform to attack from.
CM) Ryan Mason – 7.0
A great box-to-box display, linked the midfield and defence perfectly.
CAM) Nacer Chadli – 6.0
Swapped positions with Christian Eriksen regularly, but was largely a ghost.
RAM) Andros Townsend – 7.0
Provided the assist for the opening goal, and looked constantly dangerous. His end product still needs a huge amount of work, but he was one of the men trying to make
LAM) Christian Eriksen – 6.5
A relatively mixed bag from the Danish midfielder, who looked out of sorts but still created moments of magic. He started in the centre, but moved out wide quickly.
ST) Harry Kane – 8.5
Man of the moment once again, the Spurs star bagged a brace to give his side a win. This is the sixth consecutive away game he’s scored in, and he doesn’t look like slowing down.
Substitute) Moussa Dembele – 6.5
A more defensive option to replace Townsend, helped to retain possession more.
Substitute) Benjamin Stambouli – N/A
Merely a cameo performance.
Replaced Chadli and looked dangerous, didn’t have a huge amount of time to make an impact.
