Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Show all 11 1 /11 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Hugo Lloris Couldn’t be blamed for either of Monaco’s goals. Wasn’t really challenged outside of that. 6 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Kyle Walker Up to his usual tricks down the right flank again. Put in some excellent deliveries and was a general nuisance all night long. 7 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Toby Alderweireld Excellent distribution and made some lovely switch balls. Took his goal well. Defensively solid for much of the game. 7 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Jan Vertonghen Backed off Silva to gift Monaco their first goal and struggled at times. 5 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Ben Davies Just as effective as Walker going forward down the flank. Touch was on point and dealt well under the high balls. 6 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Eric Dier Solid with his challenges but had to be withdrawn later on as Spurs attempted to play a more expansive attacking game. 6 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Dele Alli Particularly threatening in the second half. Opened up play and created chances with his clever footwork. Enjoyed a chance or two himself. 7 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Erik Lamela Delivered the corner for Alderweireld’s goal but also gave away possession for Monaco’s first. Faded out as the game went on. 6 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Christian Eriksen Struggled to make an impact - never really got into the game. 5 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Son Heung Min Should have scored in the first half and was pulled off at half time. 5 out of 10 Tottenham vs Monaco player ratings Harry Kane Came in and out of the game. Influential in some of Tottenham’s build up play but also failed to convert his own chances. 6 out of 10
