Tottenham ratings as brilliant Christian Eriksen gets a 9 in 2-2 comeback draw against Juventus

02:11 14/02/2018

Tottenham would’ve feared the worst after falling behind 2-0 at Juventus with just nine minutes gone, but this Spurs side showed steel and maturity to complete a thrilling comeback and head back to London with a 2-2 draw.

Harry Kane scored yet again before Christian Eriksen drew Spurs level with a brilliant free-kick in reply to Gonzalo Higuain‘s early brace for Juventus.

Here, we rate how the Spurs players fared against last year’s Champions League runners-up.

RATINGS

Hugo Lloris – Got his hands to both of Juve’s goals. Even though one was a penalty, he’ll feel he should’ve done better. 6

Serge Aurier – Easily the worst player from either side on the night. Lucky that the penalty he gave away didn’t lead to a goal. 3

Davinson Sanchez – A rough initiation for the young defender, who at times looked out of his depth against Higuain but gamely carried on. 5

Jan Vertonghen – A stabilising force amidst the chaos being created by his fellow defenders. 6

Ben Davies – Gave away Juventus’ first penalty with a stupid tackle, and was sloppy on more than occasion, but he recovered well in the second half. 5

Eric Dier – Dictated the game well from midfield, especially in the second half as Spurs assumed the ascendancy. 6

Mousa Dembele – Along with Eriksen, was Spurs’ best player. His pace, power, and ability to control a game are just what everyone looks for in a midfielder. 9

Christian Eriksen – Was shaping to be a game of almosts for Eriksen, but then he produced his moment of brilliance, scoring a low free-kick to draw Spurs level. 9

Dele Alli – Still a little way off from his mercurial best, but he had a fascinating duel with Juve’s hard-nosed defenders. Won the free-kick that Eriksen converted. 6

Erik Lamela – Was picked based on his previous experience playing against Juventus during his Roma days, but failed to justify that selection. 5

Harry Kane – There’s no stopping this man at the moment. He probably should have scored at least once more, being denied from a point-blank header before scoring Spurs’ first goal on the night. 7

SUBSTITUTES

Son Heung-Min – Would have been disappointed not to start. Son had little to do after coming on, with Spurs looking to preserve their draw by that point. 5

Lucas Moura – An easy introduction to life as a Spurs player, as Moura made his Tottenham debut with barely any time left. 5

Victor Wanyama – Came on to help Spurs close up shop, although by that time the game was already petering away. 5
