Tottenham secured a seventh successive Premier League win by beating Bournemouth 4-0 at White Hart Lane. So how did they perform individually?

Hugo Lloris, 7

Palmed out a Bournemouth shot on 73 minutes to ironic cheers from the away fans — it was their first and only shot on target.

Kyle Walker, 7

Almost completely unthreatened down his side. Got forward and linked up successfully with Eriksen, but wasted a couple of good opportunities to cross the ball.

Toby Alderweireld, 8

Barely broke sweat. Composed as ever at the back and played some beautiful diagonals.

Jan Vertonghen, 7

Similarly, Vertonghen had little to do, giving him more time to focus on bringing the ball out from the back.

Ben Davies, 7

Participated in some effective interplay with Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son down the left. Junior Stanislas got the better of him on one occasion, but no harm was done.

Eric Dier, 7

Continues to look far more comfortable in midfield. Dropped into a back three in possession and started a handful of Spurs attacks with his quick distribution.

Mousa Dembele, 8

Completed 98% of his passes (64 of 65), more than any other player in a single Premier League game this season. Opened the scoring with a rare goal and controlled the midfield.

Christian Eriksen, 8

In general play he was a class above most. Constantly created openings and brought others into play. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

Dele Alli, 7

Did very little wrong, but wasn’t given many meaningful opportunities to continue his goalscoring form. Functioned more as a playmaker to aid Harry Kane.

Heung-Min Son, 8

Worked incredibly hard all afternoon and was rewarded with Spurs’ second goal, which he scored from an impossibly tight angle.

Harry Kane, 8

Took his goal brilliantly after initially losing the ball. His link-up play was tremendous throughout, and he would have had a hat-trick on another day.

Substitutes

Victor Wanyama, N/A

Didn’t do a lot in his 15-minute cameo. Great to have him back and fully fit in time for Chelsea next week.

Moussa Sissoko, N/A

Got into a promising position down the right late on but seemed devoid of confidence, opting to pass when the shot was on.

Vincent Janssen, N/A

Got the biggest cheer of the afternoon when he scored his first league goal from open play in stoppage time.
