Mousa Dembele: Sloppiness in possession led to the goal. An uncharacteristically poor performance from the Belgian. Hauled off by AVB at half time. Needed to do much better. 4/10.
Andros Townsend: Predictable in his play and that is a major problem for Spurs. Low cross created Eriksen chance in the second half. Selfishly shot from tight angle when Soldado was square. Other attempts blocked at source. Townsend's secret is out. 4.5/10.
Christian Eriksen: Lovely ball in had no takers at 1-0 down. Clever free kick for Soldado's flicked header. Stung palms of Krul himself. Drew another save from keeper after the break. As good as anyone in a white shirt, but not consistent in the hole. 6.5/10.
Gylfi Sigurdsson: Hardly involved first half, but deflected free kick somehow kept out by Krul after the break. Iceland international later blazed over. Subbed. 5.5/10.
Roberto Soldado: Headed over early on and needed to attack Eriksen cross more in first half. Flicked header drew fine stop from Krul. Trying his best, but needs service from wide areas badly. 5.5/10. Subs:
Sandro: Dragged long range effort wide after coming on for second half. Gave Paulinho licence to do his proper job. 5.5/10.
Younes Kaboul: Had little to do in defence after coming on for injured Chiriches. 5/10.
Jermain Defoe: Had ball into feet when he came on and teed up second Paulinho chance. Like Soldado he failed to score again. 5/10. Click next for the Newcastle player ratings.
