The referee has blown his whistle to bring an end to proceedings between Leeds United and Tottenham, and the full-time player ratings are in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tottenham full-time player ratings vs Leeds<\/p>\n

Guglielmo Vicario<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Nowhere near good enough for the opening Leeds goal. He did make a good save with his left foot early in the second half, but Vicario needs to be doing better. He is now a member of the club\u2019s leadership squad, and his very first responsibility should be to perform on the pitch. In fairness, his second-half performance was much better than his first. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pedro Porro<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Had a poor first half but immediately challenged the Leeds goalkeeper with a cross in the second half. Porro has hit a shaky patch of form, and Spurs visibly miss the quality he offers when he is at his best. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cristian Romero<\/a> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The captain was booked for squaring up to Noah Okafor. He should know better than to involve himself in such incidents. However, his passing was spot on today, and he made his fair share of defensive contributions. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Micky van de Ven<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>The Dutchman fulfilled his defensive duties. There were no standout moments from him today, but ultimately he did his job. 6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Destiny Udogie<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>A positive performance from the left-back. He consistently got forward and caused the Leeds defence problems. 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joao Palhinha<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>Not a bad display from Palhinha, but his borderline head loss near the end of the first half was a bit concerning. The midfielder always seems to play okay, but his partnership with Bentancur continues to raise questions due to a lack of creative spark. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodrigo Bentancur<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>Was lucky not to single-handedly cost Tottenham a goal in the first half after giving the ball away in a position of danger. Some Spurs supporters will be disappointed that Archie Gray was not brought on to get some minutes against his former club. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xavi Simons<\/a> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Had his moments of brilliance during the match, but there were large parts of it when he struggled to make an impact. Still, there were signs of potential from Simons in the centralised position. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mohammed Kudus<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> The winger has been Tottenham\u2019s signing of the summer, and he has finally opened his goalscoring account at the club. Kudus got great direction on the shot and wrong-footed Karl Darlow. 8.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mathys Tel<\/a> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Scored Tottenham\u2019s opening goal and almost had a second on the stroke of half-time. Tel was rarely on the ball except for those instances, but hopefully he has found some much-needed confidence. 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wilson Odobert<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Had a couple of creative moments, but only did so much to affect the game. Odobert looks like a decent player, but he is certainly not the finished product at this point in time. Brennan Johnson may just have the edge due to his goalscoring ability. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pape Matar Sarr<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>Played the final 15 minutes. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richarlison<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Came on and managed to get one shot away. Richarlison will be hoping to return to the starting lineup after the international break to renew his goalscoring form from earlier in the season. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kevin Danso<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>A late sub. N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson<\/a> \u2013 <\/strong>Brought on in stoppage time. N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n
