Tottenham player ratings vs Brighton: Super Son landmark as Kane hits winner after red card mess

Hugo Lloris

Made a flying save to deny Mac Allister in the first half and may have brushed fingertips against Caicedo's shot moments later. With Dunk's powerful unmarked header the Frenchman ran out into a cluster of players and bounced back behind his own goal line. Flapped at some crosses. 6

Cristian Romero

Went wandering a few times and got caught out of position a couple of times and sauntered back, but was also strong in plenty of tackles when he needed to be. Intercepted the ball in the build-up to Kane's goal. 7

Eric Dier

Not the most imposing of displays in the first half and gave the ball away in the build-up to Mitoma's disallowed first half goal as the ball was then played over his head. He got much better in the second period though. 6

Clement Lenglet

Made an important tackle in the build-up to Son's first half strike and had a busy day on the left of the back three. 7

Pedro Porro

A bright first half and sent a header on to the roof of the net at the end of it. Worked hard in the second half defensively down the right-hand side and little got past him. 8

Oliver Skipp

A couple of loose passes but another hard-working performance from the young midfielder. 7

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Some very sloppy moments in the first half, including gifting Caicedo the ball for a chance and then he delayed a shot at the other end which was deflected wide. Another who got much better in the second half and helped lead the team following the mess off the pitch. He picked out Kane in the box for the winning goal after a run on to Son's ball. 7

Ivan Perisic

Provided the assist for Son and then curled a good cross to the back post for Porro who headed on to the roof of the net. 7

Dejan Kulusevski

Some very loose touches in the first half which ended Spurs attacks very quickly. Plenty of driving runs but other than one shot wide he struggled with his end product. 5

Harry Kane

A very quiet first half but another who improved hugely in the second half with his passing and spreading the play and then was there for the team when they needed him with a deflected finish to win the game. 7

Son Heung-min

His 100th Premier League was a cracker, a trademark curling finish from outside the Brighton box which flew inside the right-hand post. Teed up Hojbjerg for a chance and set Spurs away the Dane in the build-up to Kane's goal. A very hard-working performance as he got up and down the left and then later the right flank. 8

Subs

Arnaut Danjuma

An energetic cameo but saw little of the ball. 5

Pape Matar Sarr

Replaced Skipp late on. N/A

Japhet Tanganga

Came on for Perisic in the final minutes. N/A
