Tottenham half-time player ratings vs Bournemouth
Guglielmo Vicario – Has been called into action a few times in the opening forty-five, making a couple of saves, but there was nothing he could do about Evanilson’s opener. 5.
Pedro Porro – Semenyo has started brightly and already looks to have the beating of Porro, who is tasked with marking the Ghanaian. 4.
Cristian Romero – The Argentine centre-back tried to get a block in on Evanilson’s strike, but the ball cannoned off him instead, leaving Vicario with no chance. 5.
Micky Van de Ven – The Dutchman was tipped by Redknapp to be a key player in this fixture, and he has so far produced an excellent recovering block to prevent Bournemouth from going two goals up. 6.
Djed Spence – Slow to step up when Evanilson was slipped through, ultimately playing the Bournemouth forward onside, who finished coolly. Spence, however, in this fixture, has looked to make overlapping runs beyond Brennan Johnson. 5.
Rodrigo Bentancur – The Uruguayan has seen plenty of the ball in the opening half, not afraid to run beyond Spurs’ wide men at times, but still with little impact in the final third. 5.5.
Joao Palhinha – The Portuguese midfielder has tried to put tackles in to win possession in the middle of the park, but Bournemouth are causing most of their problems down the flanks. 6.
Pape Matar Sarr – Full of running throughout the first half, often looking to run beyond Johnson. Sarr had an early crossing opportunity at the start of the first half, but it was straight at the Bournemouth goalkeeper. 6.
Brennan Johnson – The Welshman has looked off the pace, with his final ball repeatedly failing to find its target. Poor so far. 4.
Richarlison – The Brazilian has offered little hold-up play when Spurs have gone long. He looks isolated and has yet to get a sight of the goal. 4.
Mohammed Kudus – Spurs have looked to him for inspiration, but he has offered very little. Needs to track back and help Porro defensively, as Semenyo continues to find joy down that side. 4.
