Tottenham player ratings: Sessegnon, Son and Kane struggle as Romero spoils his good display

Hugo Lloris

Showed some good handling in the first half in the wet and windy conditions. Couldn't do much about Mee's powerful header into the far corner. Didn't have much else to do. 6

Cristian Romero

Kept on raiding forward and slid a shot wide in the first half after finding himself in the Burnley box. Made an excellent challenge to stop Weghorst in the Spurs box midway through the second half. However, he was beaten comfortably at the back post by Mee to open the scoring for Burnley. Loses a couple of points for that moment. 6

Eric Dier

Strode out of defence a couple of times and on one occasion helped Spurs create a chance. Defended well on the whole, trying to fight against the tough aerial threat of Weghorst. 7

Ben Davies

Solid down the left of the back three and didn't do much wrong from his side. 7

Emerson Royal

Defended well and got into some good attacking positions but wasn't able to provide the final ball. Came off after the hour mark. 5

Rodrigo Bentancur

Slipped awkwardly early on and practically did the splits. He ran it off, and played some neat football in the centre of the pitch, but did not reappear for the second half. 6

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Battled away in the centre of the pitch and matched Burnley's fight in the tough conditions. 7

Ryan Sessegnon

Conte told football.london that the 21-year-old needed to believe how good he can be but he didn't show that confidence at Turf Moor, not taking opportunities to run at his man when it could have opened Burnley up. 4

Dejan Kulusevski

Tried to make things happen from the midfield and switched to right wing-back for the final half hour, soon curling a shot just wide. The most productive of the front three on the whole. 6

Harry Kane

Sent a header against the crossbar with the back of his head early in the second half. Showed little moments of creativity and trying to get Spurs going, but was unable to reach anything near the heights of Saturday's display. 5

Son Heung-min

Struggled for quality in the final third until his free-kick found Kane after the break with the striker hitting the woodwork. An off night for the South Korean star after his fine display at the weekend. He struggled with his end product. 4

Subs

Harry Winks

Came on for the second half and didn't do much wrong. Wasn't able to provide any telling balls into the attackers though. 6

Lucas Moura

Struggled to make an impact, sending one half-volley well over the crossbar. 4

Steven Bergwijn

Came on down the left towards the end of the game and had one shot inside the box that Pope held well. N/A
