Tottenham player ratings vs West Ham: Who impressed?
Tottenham Hotspur stretched their winning run to four games in a row in the Premier League as Mauricio Pochettino’s men overcame West Ham 1-0 at the London Stadium.
Erik Lamela’s header from Moussa Sissoko’s cross gave the Lilywhites the lead in the London derby just before the stroke of halftime.
Spurs had the lion’s share of possession but West Ham created a lot of chances as the home team tried to claw their way back into the game.
However, Hugo Lloris made three brilliant saves each off Marko Arnautovic to ensure that Spurs bagged all three points from the fixture.
Tottenham player ratings
Hugo Lloris (8/10)
Denied Arnautovic thrice in the second half as West Ham pushed for the equaliser; his diving save off the header was simply world class and showed tremendous courage to come out of his area to close down the Austrian in the dying stages.
Kieran Trippier (7/10)
Got the better of Felipe Anderson; solid at the back and influential on the attack.
Davinson Sanchez (6/10)
Struggled to cope with the strength and movement of Arnautovic but managed to win some tough challenges.
Toby Alderweireld (7/10)
The Belgian looked calm and composed at the back and did not allow too much space for the attackers to exploit.
Ben Davies (6.5/10)
The Englishman looked good with his positioning and got the better of Andriy Yarmolenko; ventured forward at times and was precise with his passing.
Harry Winks (7.5/10)
The youngster put in another good shift in central midfield; strong with his tackling, carried the ball forward from deep areas and kept things ticking with his flawless passing.
Eric Dier (7.5/10)
The English international helped his team dominate proceedings in the midfield with his physicality and passing.
Moussa Sissoko (7/10)
Showed a lot of enthusiasm to get involved in the build-up play; drifted wide at times to supply the striker from the wide areas, provided the cross from which Lamela headed in the equaliser.
Lucas Moura (7.5/10)
A wonderful display of pace, flair and determination by the Brazilian. He constantly bullied the defenders with his dribbling skills and initiated some counter-attacks.
Erik Lamela (8.5/10)
Got into a good opposition to head in the winner; linked up the play very effectively and was always a lively presence in the final third.
Harry Kane (6.5/10)
Did not get his name on the scoresheet but impressed with his passing and hold-up play and tried to set his teammates free into open spaces.
