Final score Tottenham vs. Chelsea: Defenders attack when the Blues wakes up
Moyes: « My choice and my decision » to take cold Sub Noble …
Hugo Lloris: 7 – Two good stops against Alonso and Silva. The best player in the Spurs. That says it all.
Emerson Royal: 6 – Looked restless on the ball and Alonso gave it a hot time.
Cristian Romero: 6 – Started the game well but tired like most of the Spurs players. Deposed late.
Eric Dier: 6 – Bad luck with the distraction for Kant’s goal. Otherwise it worked out well.
Sergio Reguilon: 6 – Picked the wrong pass in a breakaway group in the first half. Doesn’t look confident.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: 6 – Seen a lot of the ball in the first half. Overrun by Kante in the second run.
Tanguy Ndombele: 5 – Some noticeable touches, but also in possession. Dropped off and looked tired.
Dele Alli: 5 – See above. Neither he nor Ndombele could live with the pace of Chelsea’s midfield three.
Harry Kane: 5 – Started well and played some good balls into the box. Hardly represented in the second half.
Heung-min Son: 5 – See above. Both Kane and Son seem to have no match fitness.
Substitute Bryan Gil (62 ′ for Lo Celso): 6 – A few good runs but a lot of time spent on defense.
Oliver Skipp (62 ′ for Ndombele): 6 – He did his best to fill the gaps, but it was tough.
Davinson Sanchez (83 ′ for Romero): N / A
Andreas Christensen: 8 – Sensational presentation. Almost a goal in the first half. Good on the ball and won the ball against Kane.
Thiago Silva: 8 – Great header for his goal. Almost got one too. The defense held together with ease.
Antonio Rüdiger: 7 – A couple of surging runs forward. Stable and late a rare goal.
Kai Havertz: 6 – Made itself felt when it was moved centrally. Other than that, pretty calm.
Romelu Lukaku: 6 – It just wasn’t his day. A couple of good runs but in the end I couldn’t choose the right pass.
Replacement
N’Golo Kante (45 ′ for Mount): 8 – Helped the swing game in Chelsea’s favor. Scored a rare goal and won the ball back so many times.
Timo Werner (70 ′ for Havertz): 6 – Lively as ever in a short cameo. Missed some great chances but prepared Rüdiger for his goal.
