Tottenham player ratings vs AC Milan: Sarr and Skipp impress but Romero, Son and Kulusevski poor

Fraser Forster

Made two saves in the move that led to Diaz's early headed goal, the second a wonderful reaction stop but nobody was covering the Milan attacker. He didn't have too much else to do with the hosts send two late good chances wide. 7

Cristian Romero

Beaten easily in the air by Hernandez in the build-up to Diaz's early goal with the Milan man then able to collect the ball himself and run on. The same player breezed past him before the break but his cross was deflected behind the goal this time. He was then booked for a flying late tackle on Tonali. Not a good night on his return to the team. 4

Eric Dier

Picked up a yellow card that rules him out of the second leg but this was a far better performance than his showing at the weekend, with a number of tackles and interceptions. 7

Clement Lenglet

A solid enough performance at the back but he failed to make good use of the ball when he got into good positions at the other end of the pitch. 6

Emerson Royal

A busy presence down the right and also tucked in to help the young midfield duo in the centre of the pitch at times. Sent a central shot at the keeper 25 minutes in. 7

Oliver Skipp

A real workhorse in the centre of the pitch, reading the game well and making a number of interceptions. Looked much more like his old (young) self. 8

Pape Matar Sarr

His Champions League debut and he looked comfortable and composed alongside his only slightly older midfield team-mate. Almost a nine and Spurs' man of the match on the day. 8

Ivan Perisic

The 34-year-old showed his fitness to get up and down the pitch just three days after the Leicester game. Needed some more quality in his delivery. 6

Dejan Kulusevski

Struggled to make any real impact on the game in his 70 minutes on the pitch as he returned to Italy to face an opposition he knows well. 4

Harry Kane

Battled away up front and held the ball up well most of the time but had precious little service to work with. 6

Son Heung-min

Another one of those games in which he struggled to make any inroads and he loses the ball sloppily at times, one occasion earning him a rollicking from Dier. Put in a couple of dangerous free-kicks but that was about it. 5

Subs

Richarlison

Add some fresh legs down the right for the final 20 minutes but no more quality than Kulusevski. 5

Arnaut Danjuma

Came on for Son and was also a willing runner but nothing really fell his way. 5

Ben Davies

Replaced Lenglet but send his one chance of a cross over everyone's heads. 5
