Tottenham put in a customarily fine team display against Manchester United in the last ever game at White Hart Lane. So how did the hosts perform individually?

Hugo Lloris, 7

A few risky passes aside, the skipper was generally comfortable. Could do little about the goal.

Kieran Trippier, 7

Got Spurs up the pitch as often as possible and dealt with Anthony Martial on all but one occasion, which led to the goal.

Toby Alderweireld, 7

Enjoyed a mostly leisurely afternoon, only really troubled by a couple of long balls over the top late on.

Jan Vertonghen, 7

Strode forward with complete confidence time after time. Unfortunate not to stop Wayne Rooney’s goal.

Ben Davies, 8

Controlled the left side and won almost every 50/50 challenge. His cross for the opener was a peach.

Eric Dier, 7

Effortlessly dropped in between the centre-backs and kept United’s attacking players quiet in midfield.

Victor Wanyama, 8

Opened the scoring with a cracking header and wrapped up an excellent debut season by controlling the midfield throughout.

Christian Eriksen, 8

Made the second goal with a perfectly delivered free-kick. Constantly found gaps to exploit the visitors.

Dele Alli, 7

Found himself in plenty of promising positions but often wasn’t picked out. Would have grabbed a goal or two on another day.

Heung-Min Son, 7

Caused United plenty of problems. Should have made it 2-0 in the first half but struck straight at David de Gea.

Harry Kane, 8

Held the ball up effectively and took his goal brilliantly well — fittingly the final winning goal at the Lane.

Substitutes

Mousa Dembele, N/A

Gave the hosts a bit more control, coming on straight after United’s goal.

Kyle Walker, N/A

Replaced Trippier with ten minutes left and contributed with some experienced defending.

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, N/A

Ran down the clock as a stoppage time arrival.
