Man Utd 1-2 Spurs: Premier League Player Ratings

Mousa Dembele: Booked for foul on Cleverley and just as anonymous as his victim. Dembele is a great athlete, but that and his work rate is all he has to offer at the moment. Every time he goes down there is concern he's picked up a serious injury. 4.5/10. Christian Eriksen: Our man of the match. Danish playmaker has struggled since stepping up from the Dutch league after leaving Ajax. Eriksen assisted the Adebayor opener. Got across Valencia to double Spurs' lead midway through the second half too. This victory has his fingerprints all over it. 7.5/10. Emmanuel Adebayor: Nodded Spurs ahead ten minutes before half time. Chased lost causes and even defended properly. Involved in the build-up to several moves. Stretchered off and that is a worry for Sherwood, who has rejuvenated Adeabyor. 6.5/10. Roberto Soldado: Linked well with his strike partner and put a lovely through-ball in for Lennon chance. Shanked one wide when Lennon crossed for him at 1-0. Must try to take chances as he is getting a reputation of being wasteful. Subbed. 5.5/10. Subs: Nabil Bentaleb: Young French player got more first-team exposure here and slotted in well again. 5/10. Nacer Chadli: Came on for injured Adebayor for the final quarter. Rating N/A. Harry Kane: Sherwood gave the young striker 15 minutes up top in place of Soldado. Rating N/A. Who was your man of the match? Have your say below.
