Tottenham second half player ratings vs Roma: Ivan Perisic and Cristian Romero impress in defeat

Hugo Lloris

Didn't have a single notable thing to do in the 20 minutes of the second half he was on for. Can only get a five but that's not really his fault. 5

Cristian Romero

Headed a good chance just wide of the Roma goal nine minutes into the second period. Made a terrific tackle to stop Zaniolo as he ran into the Spurs box. 8

Eric Dier

Dealt with Roma better in the second half although he needed Romero to bail him out when Zaniolo breezed through. 6

Clement Lenglet

Showed why he's been brought in within the first 10 minutes of the second half with a dribble down the left and a cross for Romero to head just wide. 7

Matt Doherty

A couple of nice attacking touches and less to do defensively in this half, but whether it was enough to convince Conte will be seen next weekend. 5

Rodrigo Bentancur

Brought a bit more bite to the midfield than Bissouma in the second half and Spurs have more control of the centre of the pitch. 6

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

The Dane got 90 minutes under his belt and didn't do much wrong in the game. 6

Ivan Perisic

Sent a shot over early in the half and made a great defensive block to stop a Roma break just after the hour mark. One of Spurs' better players on the night. 8

Dejan Kulusevski

A quiet second half from the Swede in the Haifa heat. 5

Harry Kane

Could have had a penalty in the second half and should have buried a header from Sessegnon's cross late on. 6

Son Heung-min

Some good movement but the service wasn't great for him. 6

Subs

Lucas Moura

Some bursts of speed but another attacker who struggled to find a way through the resolute Roma backline. 5

Richarlison

Good run by the Brazilian into the box on 84 minutes but he was tackled at the last moment. He got under Roma's skin at times. 6

Emerson Royal

Headed wide from a deep cross in added time and didn't add much down the right. 5

Fraser Forster

Nothing to do after coming on. 5

Ryan Sessegnon

Put in a couple of dangerous crosses from the left and Kane should have buried one but Perisic's performance has put his spot in jeopardy next weekend. 6
