Tottenham player ratings

Hugo Lloris: 6 - One good stop from Fred’s long-range shot. Couldn’t do much on the goals.

Emerson Royal: 6 - Solid enough but poor on the ball. Looks so nervous.

Cristian Romero: 6 - Scored a disallowed goal as he just strayed offside. Struggled with movement of Cavani and Ronaldo. Booked late on.

Eric Dier: 6 - Tried to play a high defensive line but United were too clever.

Ben Davies: 5 - Didn’t add much in attack and some very negative passing when in possession.

Oliver Skipp: 5 - See above. Bad giveaway for United’s second goal.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: 5 - And again, see above. Worked hard as always but Spurs never had control.

Lucas Moura: 6 - Worked his socks off and tried to spring counters. Fans booed loudly when he was taken off.

Giovani Lo Celso: 4 - Totally non-existent. Couldn’t get on the ball.

Heung-min Son: 6 - Flashed a couple of shots wide. Always wanted the ball. Didn’t hide.

Harry Kane: 4 - One good ball to Son, who was offside. Looked disinterested and totally off the pace.

Substitutions
Steven Bergwijn (54' on for Moura): 5 - His b
Tanguy Ndombele (66' on for Skipp): 5 - Didn’t get a chance to impact the game.
Dele Alli (73' on for Lo Celso): 4 - An air-shot on a volley and not much else.


Manchester United player ratings

David de Gea: 6 - Didn’t have a lot to do. One wayward pass out of the back.

Victor Lindelof: 7 - Solid defensively. Did all of the basics well. Committed.

Raphael Varane: 8.5 - Classy. Communicated well. Started at heart of a back three. United need him to stay fit.

Harry Maguire: 7 - Booked for a foul in the first half. Looked in control.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka: 7 - Saw a lot of the ball in the first half but final ball was just off. Made one fine block to deny Son, as the flag went up belatedly.

Scott McTominay: 7.5 - Worked his socks off in midfield. Won the ball back. Kept it well. Stood tall.

Bruno Fernandes: 7.5 - A few loose passes but his assist from Ronaldo was sublime and involved in the second goal too. His quality shone through.

Fred: 7 - Very similar to McTominay. Had a great shot from distance. Worked so hard. Booked.

Luke Shaw: 6.5 - Not his best game going forward but dug deep defensively. Booked.

Edinson Cavani: 9 - Sensational movement from the first whistle. Almost scored a couple, then scored a beauty in the second half. Aside from one poor backpass, he was excellent and linked up so well with Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 8 - Two moments of real quality swung the game in United’s favor. His volley was exquisite and then a lovely assist for Cavani’s goal. Pure class.

Substitutions
Marcus Rashford (71' on for Ronaldo): 7 - Worked hard and got his goal on the break.
Nemanja Matic (76' on for Fernandes): 6 - Steady and solid in midfield. Good assist for Rashford.
Jesse Lingard (82' on for Cavani): N/A
