Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Player Ratings

Arsenal Tottenham

Lloris Walker Arsenal Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur

Hugo Lloris- 6/10

With Tottenham having the better of the ball, the visiting captain had a quiet first half and had relatively nothing to do. However, it was a much different story during the second period of the game as the Frenchman was called into action on a number of occasions. Lloris had a good game, dealing with some dangerous set-pieces effectively. However, he left a lot to be desired when he meekly let in the equalizer.

Kyle Walker - 7/10

The Englishman was the spark down the right-hand side that had the Arsenal defense in a quandary. The 25-year old had an excellent game, shifting from defense to attack at every opportunity. He had a good game defensively beating the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Kieran Gibbs for pace quite comfortably. His only mistake of the game, unfortunately, saw Gibbs finding the back of the net.

Toby Alderweireld- 7/10

The Belgian put in another fine performance for his new employers dealing with his threatening opponents with utmost composure and ease. He never seemed to be perplexed even after Arsenal launched continuous attacks at goal during the second period of the game. To add to this stellar defensive performance, the 26-year old central defender also crept up on the other end of the pitch with a fine header that nearly gave the visitors a two-goal advantage.

Vertonghen Arsenal Tottenham

Jan Vertonghen- 6.5/10

The senior Belgian paired up well with his international counterpart at the heart of the defense. He was involved in a scuffle with Olivier Giroud during the match, but that did not deter the performance of the experienced defender in any manner. The Belgian was neatly positioned throughout the game and marshaled his defensive line marvelously.

Danny Rose- 6/10

Danny Rose had a good game down the left-hand side of the pitch. The English international picked out Harry Kane with a beautifully weighted ball that eventually opened the scoring for the visitors. Defensively, the English international was a little troubled by the pace of Joel Campbell, but never really let the Costa Rican fluster him too much.

Eric Dier- 6.5/10

Eric Dier celebrated his call-up to the English squad with a magnificent performance as the holding midfielder. The versatile 21-year old seemed to be at home in midfield, making some crucial interceptions and disrupting several attacks from the hosts. He also nearly found the back of the net when he made an intelligent run on the far post, only to fire the shot wide.

Dele Alli- 6.5/10

The 19-year old has been a revelation for Spurs this season and delivered a sparkling performance yet again in the midfield. Alli looked confident every time he had the ball at his feet and also picked out his team-mates with some beautiful passes. Not only this, he looked comfortable even when was deployed further forward after Erik Lamela was substituted.

Dele Alli Erik Lamela Arsenal Tottenham

Erik Lamela- 4/10

Lamela had a relatively quiet game and never created much impact on the right hand side of the pitch. The club record signing picked up his fifth yellow card of the season, thereby earning him a suspension for the next game.

Moussa Dembele- 6/10

The experienced Belgian international looked to carry on his fine form after scoring a brilliant goal midweek in the Europa League. The 28-year churned out a neat performance meticulously pulling the strings in the Tottenham's midfield.

Christian Eriksen- 7.5/10

After a low-key first period of the game, Eriksen got much more involved in the game only in the second half. The Danish international had a couple of efforts at goal denied owing to some wonderful effort from the Arsenal defense. The 23-year old was a tremendous threat in dead-ball situations delivering some beautiful balls into the danger area.

Harry kane Arsenal Tottenham goal

Harry Kane- 8/10

Harry Kane continued his rich vein of form by netting in a composed finish to give the visitors an unexpected lead in the first period of the game. The English international was more than willing to help his team-mates, pushing out wide on several occasions. Slick with his passing, the 22-year old also showed a keen eye for his team-mates. With Arsenal pushing forward for an equalizer, he was hardly involved in the second half of the game but looked to make an impact every time he had the ball.

Substitutes:

Heung-Min Son- 4/10

The Korean forward made his return to the league after his injury with a late appearance in the game. With Tottenham trying to keep their attacking opponents at bay, the talented 23-year old never got a chance to showcase his attacking prowess during the time he was on the pitch.

Ryan Mason- N/A

The English midfielder was brought on as a late substitute for Dele Alli and was unable to create any impact in his short stint of the game.

Joshua Onomah- N/A

Brought in right at the 90-minute mark, the exciting England U-19 player was essentially used to kill off Arsenal's momentum and eat up some vital time during the end of the game.
