Tottenham player ratings vs Leicester: Eric Dier poor, Porro struggles as do Kane and attack

Fraser Forster

Couldn't do much about Leicester's two first half goals, particularly the first, but he made a low save to deny Iheanacho soon after. He hasn't got the same desire as Lloris in rushing out which may have given the visitors more time with their goals and he won't be happy with Iheanacho's goal rolling inside the left-hand post late in the first half. Saved low down from Barnes before the hour mark but got nowhere near his two strikes afterwards, one ruled out by VAR. Leicester put their shots in the corners which didn't help. 5

Japhet Tanganga

Selected over Sanchez and he was one of the better defenders in the first half but he looked nervy with the rest of the backline as the game wore on. 5

Eric Dier

Caught out of position for Leicester's second goal, gifting Iheanacho acres of space. Then the same Leicester player found it far too easy when Dier stood off him and allowed him to roll a shot inside the left-hand post. For the hosts' fourth goal he again stood up Barnes and the ball was curled home. 3

Ben Davies

Better than Dier but also looked nervy in a shaky backline. 5

Pedro Porro

A tough, nervy start to life in the Premier League with a poor first touch and then he was sold a dummy by Barnes which led to Bentancur getting booked. Chances to get forward were rare and he looked shaky at the back. He will hopefully adapt but this was not a debut to remember fondly. 4

Rodrigo Bentancur

Took that early booking but also scored from close range in the first half after a lengthy VAR check. Headed the ball off his own goal line before Mendy sent it rocketing back into the top corner. Went off with a worrying looking knee injury in the second half. 7

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Worked hard but it was against the tide as Spurs were overrun. 6

Ivan Perisic

Turned his back on Mendy as he shot and could only watch it fly into the top right corner. He put in the corner that led to Bentancur's goal but he's out of form at the moment down the left and he's not getting up and down the pitch as much. 4

Dejan Kulusevski

Struggling to make an impact on matches at the moment and this was another game without much in the way of penetrative play from the Swede. 4

Harry Kane

A few nice touches but plenty of loose ones and he was far short of his normal levels. 4

Son Heung-min

After two good displays this was back to a more hesitant Son with nothing coming off for him. 4

Subs

Pape Matar Sarr

Came on and slotted into the centre of the pitch without much fuss. 5

Richarlison

Replaced Perisic but offered little. 4

Emerson Royal
