MANCHESTER CITY

Ederson 6 - Can do little on the three goals scored. The City is not discussed, but when you think too much about attacking the defensive phase is often left in disarray.

Walker 5 - Evening to forget as quickly as possible. Son, with his cuts, sends him into confusion: he concedes too much, around him Tottenham dances on the red carpet.

Dias 5.5 - Dangerous in the opponent's area, on set pieces it becomes a determining factor. But in defense they are pains, Kane is today in a state of grace.

Laporte 5-Bad in the preventive closures, very badly in the reading: Kulusevski bites him and does what he wants, each lunge grants centimeters, meters. Indeed, kilometers.

Cancelo 6-Kicks from any possible position: as soon as he sees the poles he loads his leg: he touches sensational goals several times, but luck does not help him. In defense, however, we are not there, the Swedish former Juventus rides in the prairies.

De Bruyne 5.5 - Not received. The quality and the accelerations are always there, but the density of the Spurs tangles up assists and passages in depth.

Rodri 5-he He was supposed to shield the defense, but he missed a lot. Predictable in possession of the ball, Kane backward sends him into confusion.

Gundogan 7-he Never stops. First he knocks down the post, then scores the 1-1 goal. The round shot neutralized by Lloris cries out for revenge.

Bernardo Silva 6 - Two-faced race in which practically everything has happened. It always sinks, but sometimes the repetitive feint is neutralized by the Spurs.

Foden 5.5 - Wanders around the field without ever finding the right position. He is seen very few in the goal area, he does not even help lowering himself in the midfielders.

Sterling 6-Class flashes scare Conte's defense, but he is often too fast even for his plays. He stumbles on the ball a couple of times and wastes the right time to shoot goal in goal. From 67 'Mahrez 7-Splits the game in two and gives him a bitter illusion about a penalty kick.

TOTTENHAM

Lloris 7 - The mistake on Gundogan's goal, a short block on Sterling's cross, is canceled out by an excellent performance. And in the final he performs a half miracle on the German midfielder.

Romero 7-Performance at the limits of perfection, he closes on every ball with the usual malice. A vote in hand for the very wide arm that gives the 2-2 penalty to the hosts-

Dier 6.5 - There is no shortage of smudges, especially in the hectic part of the match. But it brings home a performance of courage and sacrifice.

Davies 6 - He is the weak link in the chain, Bernardo Silva creates many headaches. He limits it as he can, race orderly and with few frills.

Emerson Royal 6.5 - Sterling is stopped in all possible ways. He doesn't sink much, but he keeps a good watch. From 83 'Doherty s.v.

Bentancur 5.5 - An entity totally unrelated to the rhythms of the Premier League. On Gundogan's pressure he gets confused, he misses any step. He grows in the second half, but the performance remains insufficient.

Hojbjerg 6.5 - Sacrifice race, does not lose a tackle. Rodri is bitten from the first to the last minute, every tackle is a steal for the Spurs.

Sessegnon 6 - In the first half it is devastating, when Tottenham restarts it relies on its speed. But it contributes to some confusion. Since 93 'Sanchez s.v.

Kulusevski 7.5 - Goals and assists on his debut as a starter in the Premier League. Son's action follows and is found in the right place at the right time, then he invents the cross of victory for Kane.

Son 7 - Space race and accelerations, the number 7 always sinks: the assist for the first goal is excellent, the City never keeps it. From 80 'Moura 6.5 - Conte asks him to do the dirty work, he stands at attention and replies.

Kane 8 - In the movement of Kulusevski's goal he remembers Dzeko: first intention shot in space for Son on the edge of the genius. That yo-yo movement is the key to the game: Rodri doesn't even take it by mistake, he creates spaces where there aren't any. And in addition he scores a decisive brace: the Hurri-Kane overwhelmed Guardiola.
No, Bentacur was much better than he is given credit for, in my view. See my comment on his thread.
