The final whistle has just been blown on the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Both sides came into the match with bigger priorities with Tottenham booking their place in the Europa League final, while Palace have an FA Cup final against Manchester City to look forward to later this month.
Despite making eight changes to his starting eleven, Ange Postecoglou will be frustrated at the performance of his players, who were second best all over the pitch in a 2-0 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Below, we have given each Tottenham player a performance rating on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the highest score achievable for an outstanding display.
Here’s how the players rated –
Tottenham player ratings vs Crystal Palace
Antonin Kinsky – 6
Pedro Porro – 3
Nowhere near his usual attacking threat, and pinned back for the majority of the game by Mitchell. Replaced by Son on 57 minutes.
Kevin Danso – 2
Spent most of the first half racing back to his own goal, started the second half really poorly and didn’t improve.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Ben Davies – 2
Called into the side in place of van de Ven, like many others around him, was caught out positionally on more than one occasion.
Djed Spence – 1
Had an absolute shocker with his positioning which cost Tottenham two goals, his body language looks to speak volumes about having been dropped recently.
Pape Matar Sarr – 2
Has allowed Palace’s midfield to play in behind him, his passing was poor.
Archie Gray – 3
Spent just under an hour in midfield to little effect and later slotted into right-back when Porro went off.
Rodrigo Bentancur – 4
A poor half from the Uruguayan, who was given the captaincy for the first 45′ minutes. Hooked at half time in a likely pre-planned replacement.
Dejan Kulusevski – 5
Sustained a knee injury following a heavy Guehi challenge whcih saw the Swede head down the tunnel for treatment. A big worry ahead of the Europa League final.
Mathys Tel – 5
Have to feel for the Bayern loanee; zero creativity for him to feed off. The only outfield player who looked like he wanted the ball.
Wilson Odobert – 5
Had his first piece of good play on 54 minutes with a decent cross.
Substitutes
Mikey Moore – 4
A tough afternoon for the teenager to try and make an impact when those around him were way below below par.
Yves Bissouma – 3
Came on at half time in place of Bentancur and was partly at faulty for Palace’s second goal.
Heung-min Son – 4
