Tottenham full-time player ratings vs Manchester United

Guglielmo Vicario – The Tottenham number one was beaten by United’s first shot on target after Mbeumo headed in at the back post. Late in the second half, right when Tottenham thought they had won it, United grabbed an equaliser, scoring from their two shots on target. 5.

Pedro Porro – Was hooked off after a rather poor display in both halves. The Spaniard failed to mark Mbeumo at the back post for United’s opener, and his crossing from both open play and set pieces was shocking. It was no surprise he was taken off. 3.

Cristian Romero – Had a very quiet first half as most of United’s threat came from the wide areas, leaving him with little to do. In the second half, however, with Spurs pushing to get level, the club captain managed their first shot on target after meeting Odobert’s cross. He was later taken off for Danso after picking up a knock before heading straight down the tunnel. 6.

Micky Van de Ven – The corners Tottenham managed all game were poor in terms of delivery, perhaps down to Kudus’ absence. Van de Ven, however, put in a solid display at the back as United barely threatened all match. The Dutchman made a crucial recovery tackle to deny Sesko, who was bearing down on goal right after Spurs’ equaliser. 6.

Djed Spence – He definitely could have done more to put pressure on Amad Diallo’s cross for United’s opener. In the second half, he was moved from the left to the right as Frank searched for fresh ideas, but Spurs’ attacking play still did not improve. 4.

Joao Palhinha – The Portuguese midfielder did his defensive basics well in the first half, winning both ground and aerial duels. In the second, he ventured further into the opposition box and drew a fine save from Lammens after a well-struck effort. 6.

Pape Sarr – The Senegal international tried to contribute at both ends, as shown when he tracked back in the first half to block Cunha’s strike. He looked to offer more presence in United’s box but was ultimately lacking in intensity and desire. 5.

Xavi Simons – Showed glimpses of his quality in the first half when Spurs looked to transition from defence to attack. In the second forty-five, however, the Dutchman’s influence faded as he saw little of the ball. 4.

Brennan Johnson – Had a few bright moments in the first half, including when his floated ball narrowly missed Richarlison’s head, but at times he struggled to look after the ball. In the second half, he found the net but from an offside position. A performance that summed up Tottenham’s attack in a nutshell — inconsistent and bland. 4.

Richarlison – A very poor showing from the Brazil international, who struggled to influence proceedings. His decision-making in the final third was poor. Although he saw more of the ball, he often picked the wrong pass, and his hold-up play was lacking. He did, however, paper over the cracks with a goal that proved to be the winner until De Ligt’s late equaliser. 6.

Randal Kolo Muani – After a quiet first forty-five, where he was largely chasing shadows, Thomas Frank decided to substitute the Frenchman. 5.

Substitutes

Wilson Odobert – Came on in place of Kolo Muani as Frank looked to change things up. Created a really good chance with a cross that Romero met, but the effort was straight at the United goalkeeper. The 20-year-old remained lively and looked the most dangerous of Tottenham’s attackers. Eventually provided the assist for Spurs’ second. 8.

Destiny Udogie – Replaced Porro and had a bright moment when he linked up with Odobert down the left. The pair combined again shortly after, with Udogie delivering a cross that found Tel, who finished beautifully. 7.

Rodrigo Bentancur – Came on to replace Palhinha as Frank’s side pushed to salvage something from the fixture. N/A.

Mathys Tel – Replaced Xavi Simons and, with his first shot on target, pulled Tottenham level after controlling Udogie’s low-driven cross before turning and firing into the net. A brilliant goal. 7.

Kevin Danso – Came in for an injured Cristian Romero after the Spurs captain picked up a knock. N/A.
