Phil Foden – 6. Given 18 minutes at the end after coming on for Silva, but he had no chance to reprise the joy he had while on England duty. Getty
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR RATINGS vs MAN CITY: Hugo Lloris – 7. Could have rendered the debate about Laporte’s non-goal – ruled out for handball – academic by just catching the ball. But he stood up to everything else that got past the defence in front of him. AFP
Serge Aurier – 8. Had to be alert given the frequent raids down his flank. He was impressively so, given the air miles he had racked up touring Ivory Coast and Madagascar in the previous fortnight. AFP
Toby Alderweireld – 8. Made an immense tackle on Jesus to preserve the lead. It felt like a last-gasp, match-saving tackle. There were not even 10 minutes on the clock at that point. AP
Eric Dier – 9.5. To keep City to nil required a whole team effort, but Dier was the rock on which it was built. An absolutely titanic shift. AFP
Sergio Reguilon – 7. Lucky not to be punished for giving up possession cheaply in dangerous positions a number of times, but put in an impressive shift given his work with Spain. EPA
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 9. Blocked shots. Broke up play. Shackled De Bruyne. Easy to think he would be a fans’ favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, if there were any fans present. Reuters
Moussa Sissoko – 8. Importantly snubbed out a Torres break early on, and generally screened the Spurs defence well against the ambush. EPA
Tanguy Ndombele – 7. Brilliant vision to find Son for the opener, and was generally savvy in possession. Looked glum to be removed for Lo Celso just after the hour. Reuters
Steven Bergwijn – 7. Led the defensive effort from the front, and was smart with his use of the ball when the hosts did get the chance to break. PA
Son Heung-min – 7. Scored the fifth-minute opener from Ndombele’s pass. He was frustrated not to double the lead when past Ederson just after the hour. EPA
Harry Kane – 8. Unusually lax when he was caught offside and had a goal chalked off, but he was so industrious, and played a perfectly weighted pass for Lo Celso to score the second. AFP
SUBSTITUTES: Giovani Lo Celso – 8. It took him 35 seconds after coming on for Ndombele to double Spurs’ lead, with a cool finish from Kane’s pass. Thereafter, he threw himself into tackles, and used the ball so cleverly. EPA
Lucas Moura – 7. Clearly has the trust of Mourinho as he was thrown into the fray to help see out the win once Bergwijn showed signs of tiring. AP
Joe Rodon – 6. On when the colossal Alderweireld pulled up with 10 minutes to go, meaning his more celebrated Welsh compatriot – Gareth Bale – had to sit back down on the bench for the rest of the game. AP
MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson – 5. Beaten through his legs for both goals. Lucky not to be punished for a wayward charge past Son in the second. EPA
Kyle Walker – 7. City’s dominance of territory and possession meant there was often plenty of space in their own half. They were indebted to Walker’s pace for covering those gaps a number of times. EPA
Ruben Dias – 6. Rarely called upon in defence, but did stub out a Spurs attack at the start of the second phase. Naïve concession of a foul on Kane late on, for which he was booked. EPA
Aymeric Laporte – 7. Had the ball in the net with a fine finish, but it was ruled out for a handball by Jesus. Made to work so hard by the tireless Kane and Son. EPA
Joao Cancelo – 9. Extraordinary. Not always clear if he was playing left-back or a free role. Showed his side meant business with a powerful run and shot in the first minute, and rarely let up thereafter. Getty
Rodri – 6. Saw a header saved from a free kick when well placed, and made an important turn defensively when he stopped a Bergwijn shot. AFP
Kevin de Bruyne – 6. The Belgian playmaker must be sick of the sight of Hojbjerg, who followed him everywhere he went. On the few occasions he did get free of his marker, the Spurs block was good enough. PA
Riyad Mahrez – 6. Too often wasteful in possession. Maybe understandable, given the tough travel schedule in the international window. AP
Bernardo Silva – 7. Controlled the tempo for City in the first half, but faded slightly and had to give way for Phil Foden. EPA
Ferran Torres – 6. Maybe he was emotionally drained after his epic hat-trick against Germany for Spain, as he struggled to make an impact. Reuters
Gabriel Jesus – 6. Managed to be a nuisance to both teams. To Spurs with his mazy dribbling. And to City when he blocked a De Bruyne shot when he was prone on the floor, then handling before Laporte’s shot. EPA
SUBS: Raheem Sterling – 6. As predicted by Mourinho, he did recover from the injury that kept him out of international duty, at least long enough for a cameo after replacing Mahrez. Getty
