Tottenham player ratings vs Wolves: Kane hits record goal, Perisic assists and Sanchez impresses

Hugo Lloris

Made a few comfortable saves but didn't have much else to do against a Wolves side without a clinical edge. 6

Davinson Sanchez

In for Romero and within six minutes showed some good covering before a sliding block to deny Guedes in the Spurs box. Did the same five minutes before the break to the same player as he ran through the centre. Had an awkward moment late in the half when he tried to duck away from a ball going through as he tracked back and instead it hit his head and handed Wolves the ball in the box. Made some big interceptions in the second half and was Spurs' best defender on the day in the back three. 8

Eric Dier

Not one of his most dominant displays but he still dealt with plenty that came his way. 7

Ben Davies

Made some good interceptions but let Nunes get ahead of him just before the break as the Wolves newcomer headed inches wide. 7

Emerson Royal

Plenty of enthusiasm but his decision-making in the final third let him down and brought one furious moment from Conte with a low cross behind everyone. 6

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

A driving performance from the midfield as he tried to push Spurs on the pitch. Made one great run late in the game up the pitch and had another late shot at goal in a lung-busting display. 8

Rodrigo Bentancur

Some very sloppy moments in the first half but he got better as the match wore on. 6

Ivan Perisic

A slow start to the game but he grew into it with a good cross for Kane before the break and then in the second half he made one good tackle on the edge of his own box before flicking on a second assist in as many games for Kane. Came off after 75 minutes and seemed to be holding his calf. 7

Dejan Kulusevski

Showed his strength on the ball once again and was one of Spurs' main threats going forward. He helped lift their game in the second half with a great cross for Kane to head against the crossbar. 7

Harry Kane

A quiet first 45 minutes ended with a looping header at goal that Sa tipped over. After the break he sent a terrific header on to the crossbar from Kulusevski's cross. Soon after he put Son away with a curling quick free-kick. Then on 64 minutes he headed home Spurs' 1000th home Premier League goal. It was also his 250th goal for Spurs and his 185th Premier League goal - the most a player has scored for one team in the competition. On another day he could have ended up with two goals and an assist, but he'll take the match-winning strike. 8

Son Heung-min

Off the pace in the first half with some loose touches before brightening up after the break with some attacks and one chance that was blocked. He was on the end of a rollicking from Lloris in the second half after the goalkeeper wanted to throw him the ball to break but he instead was telling him to calm down the play. Son responded with a shot against the post and then in the 64th minute by curling in a cross that Perisic flicked on to Kane to score. Not one of his best performances but he still contributed to a goal. 6

Subs

Richarlison

A real livewire when he came on with a couple of great runs and one shot just wide. 7

Ryan Sessegnon

Came on for Perisic and brought his energy to the left. 6

Yves Bissouma

Replaced Kulusevski in the final minutes. N/A
