After a really dull first half that Spurs just about prevailed in, Ange Postecoglou’s team goes into halftime down 0-0.
Guglielmo Vicario: Despite Palace being called offside in both situations, Vicario made fantastic saves. He risked his life to stop Daniel Munoz then produced a nice stop to keep away Jordan Ayew. 7.
Emerson Royal: Has made several forward moves but has not been successful in getting the ball into the area. hasn’t done anything on defense. 6.
Romero Cristiano: So far, it’s been a generally good but unexceptional display. Not too much issue at the back. 6.
Micky van de Ven: For the majority of the game, van de Ven has been defensively twiddling his thumbs, much like Romero. 6.

As always, Destiny Udogie has been charging ahead and seems capable of doing something. To change the game, just needs to find the right pass. 7.
Yves Bissouma: With his deft passing and ball control, Bissouma has been able to slightly influence the speed of the game, which has mostly been played in the middle of the park. 7.
Rodrigo Bentancur: Although he still seems a little slow, he appears to be returning to his peak. Bentancur and his teammates now have more space to maneuver around thanks to some deft maneuvering and quick passing. 6.
James Maddison: Has been attempting to create opportunities with clean one-twos and forceful dribbling, but he faded out of the game a little bit as the half went on. Maddison will be involved if Spurs are to score. 6.
Dejan Kulusevski: The Swede gave a subdued performance. hasn’t had many opportunities to rush at defenders and inside the box, mostly because Palace has maintained its organization down that side. 5.
Timo Werner: When attempting to pass the Palace keeper, he lost a great opportunity. Needs to get some confidence and that goal ASAP. 5.
Heung-min Son: The Spurs captain had a tough first half. He has been kept out of the game so much this season by disciplined defenses, but maybe he can work some magic later. 5.
