Spurs half time ratings vs Arsenal – Set-piece self-destruction once again

Here’s how we rated the Spurs players following the opening forty-five minutes of action in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Ange Postecoglou’s side head into the break currently 3-0 down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Guglielmo Vicario: Had no chance for Hojbjerg’s own goal, nor the two that followed. 5.

Pedro Porro: Back in the team after injury – has done little aside from a cross in injury time. 3.

Cristian Romero: Was inches away from an equaliser only for his header to go the wrong side of the post. He went even closer minutes later when his header hit the post. 5.

Micky van de Ven: Thought he had levelled the score only for VAR to harshly rule him offside. 5.

Ben Davies: Recalled following Destiny Udogie’s season-ending injury. Could not cope with Saka for the second. 3.

Rodrigo Bentancur: Has been unable the break the lines of Arsena’s midfield who are forcing him to pass wide. 4.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: Preferred ahead of Bissouma. Headed into his own net to give the visitors the lead. 4.

James Maddison: His dive in the Arsenal penalty area proved costly with Saka scoring at the other end. Still way off it. 4.

Timo Werner: Was forced off after 30 minutes with a hamstring issue. 5.

Dejan Kulusevski: Has battled up against Tomiyasu. Completely lost the run of Havertz for the third. 4.

Heung-min Son: Another quiet half for the captain who has done nothing of note apart from scooping the ball over the bar before half time. 2.

Brennan Johnson: Came on for the injured Werner. Had two swipes at a shot in injury time, should have done better with both. 4.
